About this ebook

Frank Berkeley, a young American art student, is offered the opportunity to continue his studies by a wealthy woman who arranges for him to spend a summer with an artist couple in Paris. Leaving his disappointed lover behind, he travels to Paris where he gains the needed knowledge to return to New York and begin working in a respected museum of art. There, with additional study and experience, he becomes a widely known appraiser of fine art. At one point, he is commissioned to examine two paintings. One is suspected of being stolen by Nazis in the 1930s; the other challenges Frank to discover if the painting, by a noted artist, is genuine or a remarkable fraud. In both instances, the results of his findings put his future reputation on the line.

Author

LeRoy A. Miltner

Roy Miltner’s interest in art began in the early years of his education. It was rekindled in later years as he became a volunteer at an art museum and began collecting art for his own pleasure. He and his wife have traveled widely, visiting art museums in France, the Netherlands, and Italy, as well as in New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago. He is the author of two previously published historical novels: “Night Songs”, dealing with a young woman’s struggles in German-occupied Paris; and “For Honor and Love”, about three young men whose lives are intertwined in love and war. He and his wife live in Pueblo, Co.
