"Provenance" by Frank McDonald (Vintage Hardcover)

Provenance is a spellbinding journey through the international art world -- a world where men and women hide behind masterpieces, and sell their souls to the highest bidder.

From the elegance of Sotheby Park Bernet auctions to the decadence of Parisian nightlife, art detective Alex Drach moves through a gallery of glamorous and sinister figures on his search for stolen paintings -- a search that will lead to the dark catacombs of Rome, back to one of the most shameful secrets of World War II, and the horrifying key to his own elusive past.
