Medusa's Raft Repainted

By Douglas William Douglas

Can a dead billionaire commission a painting? Art-forger Albert Spiegel, his boyfriend, and some dogged government agents are dying to find out. German artist Albert Spiegel receives an anonymous letter from California commissioning another forgery of Gericault's Raft of the Medusa. Only Albert's metaphysically gifted benefactor, the powerful industrialist Rainer Wasgen, had known of his previous copy-and Wasgen had perished in a fire over ten years ago. During Albert's quest for the letter's author, he's pursued by ex-Stasi Herr Foxe and by the FBI while his jealous boyfriend, Bjorn, attempts to sabotage the reunion. But they're all just pawns in a game of international corporate intrigue. "Proving a master of allegory in his first suspenseful novel, "The Black Lake", Douglas William Douglas tops that with his Homeric "Medusa's Raft Repainted". Tightly written, it will keep you off balance and surprise you with its emotional gut-punch of an ending."
