'Times' magazine has permitted its association with this novel.
This fast moving thriller,which is based on fact,concerns a priceless Russian artwork,known as the eighth wonder of the world,stolen by the Nazis in 1944.Despite sixty years of searching by Russian authorities and less legitimate organizations,the work has never been found.
Peter Slaney takes the known facts concerning the theft,intrigue and numerous murders associated with the search and offers up a convincing conclusion in a taut,exciting and imaginative novel.
It begins with the unexplained death of the head of 'Time' magazine's Paris office. Nick Kinner,a former journalist is drafted in to fill the role.Teaming up with the attractive journalist Anouk Carson,they find themselves on a dangerous hunt and discover that they are not the only people racing to find the treasure,thought to be lost to the world.
The intrigue takes them from Paris,and the South of France to Amsterdam,and a nail-biting sea chase off the treacherous Dutch coastline.
