The Search For A Lost WWII Art Collection Worth Killing For. 2nd Edition]
An action-packed World War II historical fiction thriller that takes the reader around the world and a peek into the underworld of international art dealing.
In the spring of 1945, on the eve of the Allied victory in war-torn Europe, an unmarked German transport plane crash lands deep in the rugged Swiss Alps, and with it is buried one of the greatest single collections of World War II stolen artwork never recovered. Lying undisturbed in its rocky tomb for over half a century, a family member's deathbed disclosure and war memorabilia hold the key to the existence and dormant location of this incredible treasure. Subsequently, one man's quest to locate the crash site is unwittingly exposed, and the race to recover the find of a lifetime becomes a fast-paced, action-packed adventure that weaves together an eclectic cast of characters in an international web of intrigue, murder, mystery, and surprise.
American advertising executive Matt Ferguson, determined to track down his great uncle's mysterious legacy, enlists the help of a beautiful art expert, Courtney Lewis. They immediately become embroiled in a local murder investigation that draws them together to save not only a piece of history but ultimately their lives. Pursuing them is a cold-blooded killer and his henchmen, representing the past and present generations of the German Nazi party, and also gangsters dispatched by a multi-millionaire South American boss, whose passion is acquiring art by any means necessary. As Ferguson and Lewis struggle and maneuver to stay one step ahead of their pursuers, their relationship swells through ups and downs of trust, mistrust, mutual attraction, deception, and, finally, shared mission.
The dogged persistence of a city homicide detective determined to solve a triple murder, and his ability to knit together an international police effort as the scope of his investigation explodes, are the last component affecting the thrill of the chaotic chase and the excitement of the climax.

Описание:
It's 1925, and the purportedly haunted summer retreat house Bergman Manor has seen the deaths of several guests in recent years. When Clem, a penniless playboy, learns that his P.I. uncle is the Manor's latest victim, he poses as a well-to-do guest in order to secretly conduct his own investigation. He soon discovers the connection between all the recent deaths: the Manor's pretty but prickly young maid, Dorothy.
Taken in by Bergman Manor's proprietor as a small child, Dorothy has never known life outside the Manor. As she's grown into a beautiful young woman, the Manor's male guests have begun to pay her much more attention. But the consequences when they get too close are deadly. It doesn't take long for Dorothy to discover Clem's true purpose at the Manor, and desperate to stop the killings, she joins forces with him to find the truth.
As Clem and Dorothy search for answers, they begin to unravel the twisted history of Bergman Manor and the peculiar guests who spend their summers there.
