Customer Reviews

Fast-paced thriller

A very entertaining and fast-paced suspense novel that interweaves real persons and events with a fictional plotline that is quite plausible. The book is built upon a genuine historical question: what happened to various works of art pilfered (or rumored to have been) by the Nazis during World War II? When present-day (fictional) people stumble upon part of the answer, the action begins. As someone who reads non-fiction almost exclusively, I did not expect to become as engrossed in this work as I did.
