The Madonna of the Veil (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A news item announcing the finding of a Hitler Album stimulates Emilys interest in the world of lost and stolen art. While studying the subject on the Internet, she recognizes Raphaels sixteenth century masterpiece, The Madonna of the Veil, as part of the art collection in the villa of Franco, the drug lord, in Columbia. She is determined to confirm that his art collection includes stolen paintings and, in the process, uncovers a cache of artifacts thought to be from the Nazi looting of European museums during World War II. Her resolve to acquire the artifacts and return them to the original owners entices her to invest in Francos opiate drug operation. While shes negotiating for the paintings, her young daughter Susan stumbles into a sophisticated art-reproduction operation that replicates original oil paintings, including the carbon-dating test. Her task team works their way through the confusing underground market in art spurred by insurance companies fighting fraudulent loss claims and uncooperative museums.
