It was one of the greatest crimes of the century... Grand museums and families lost countless valuables and works of art to Nazi lootings in what has been called "the rape of Europa." Parker's story begins just outside the Bavarian salt mines as the American and Russian armies are closing in. Amid the chaos, SS officers scramble to hide ill-gotten treasures that will finance the "Fourth Reich." Only a precious journal detailing an inventory of treasure caches around the Tirol holds a clue. Fifty years later, the hunt for Europe's lost art falls to a husband and wife team who become entangled in this web of stolen treasures. Dix and Maria Connor face down a secret and deadly network trafficking in Titians, Bruegels and remnants of Peter the Great's magnificent Amber Room. From northeast Italy to Brussels, these amateur detectives risk everything to right the wrongs of history. Criss-cross Europe's past and present in this thinking man's action novel.

Fast-paced thriller,

This review is from: Treasures of the Fourth Reich (Paperback)
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.
