Plundering Picasso: A Dual-Time Techno-Thriller
In 1937 Paris, twelve dazzling Picasso drawings debut at a soirée hosted by Jewish art patrons Otto and Emma Bernstein. But when Hitler targets the collection as the crown jewel of his planned museum, the Bernsteins' lives—and their art—hang in the balance. Their only hope may be an unlikely American pastor Robert Meyer.
In 2022, tech CEO AJ Meyer makes a chilling discovery of Nazi documents, a cryptic Stravinsky score, and clues to the lost Picassos among his beloved grandfather’s mementos. As he and his art professor wife follow a trail of encrypted files and buried secrets, AJ must outsmart ruthless black marketeers—and confront the chilling truth about his family’s past.
Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Josephine Baker, and Igor Stravinsky move through the shadows of war and art, espionage and intrigue. Their lives intertwine with world-changing events, forming a tapestry of the past that AJ and his wife must unravel to uncover a long-buried truth.
In a harrowing journey across decades, Robert Meyer must risk everything to protect his Paris art friends from Nazi clutches, while his grandson AJ confronts a shocking family secret and races against ruthless black marketeers to uncover the truth and find priceless art.
