Max Marwell is caught between running his global art business and dealing with his own past and that of the Jewish people. Born and raised in Linz, Austria, the hometown of Hitler and Adolf Eichmann, Max is obsessed with avenging the deaths of his parents and with the restitution of looted art by the Nazis. Masterpieces are traced, bought and transported to Casablanca and Marrakesh, involving exciting chases through North Africa and France. Max's adventures entangle him with a murder case, haunted by French police and Interpol. The novel offers a peek into the art world and the way it sometimes overlaps with less salubrious circles.
