Publisher's Summary:

In a race across Nazi-occupied Italy, two women—a German photographer and an American stenographer—hunt for priceless masterpieces looted from the Florentine art collections. In the summer of 1943, Eva Brunner is taking photographs of Nazi-looted art hidden in the salt mines of the Austrian hinterland. Across the ocean in Connecticut, Josephine Evans is working as a humble typist at the Yale Art Gallery. When both women are called to Italy to contribute to the war effort, neither imagines she will hold the fate of some of the world’s greatest masterpieces torn from the Uffizi Galleries and other Florentine art collections in her hands. But as Italy turns from ally to enemy and Hitler’s plan to destroy irreplaceable monuments and works of art becomes frighteningly clear, each woman’s race against the clock—and against one another—might demand more than they were prepared to give. The Last Masterpiece takes readers on a heart-pumping adventure up the Italian peninsula, where nothing is as it seems and some of the greatest works of art and human achievement are at stake. Who might steal and who might save a work of art—and at what cost? Inspired by the incredible true story of the Monuments Women, the Fifth Army WACs, and the looted Florentine art collections during World War II, the latest historical novel by USA Today bestselling author and art historian Laura Morelli plunges readers into the heart of war-torn Italy.  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Publisher's Summary:

#1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another stunning thriller in his action-packed tale of high stakes international intrigue. On the morning after the Venice Preservation Society’s annual black-tie gala, art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon enters his favorite coffee bar on the island of Murano to find General Cesare Ferrari, the commander of the Art Squad, eagerly awaiting his arrival. The Carabinieri have made a startling discovery in the Amalfi villa of a murdered South African shipping tycoon—a secret vault containing an empty frame and stretcher matching the dimensions of the world’s most valuable missing painting. General Ferrari asks Gabriel to quietly track down the artwork before the trail goes cold. “Isn’t that your job?” “Finding stolen paintings? Technically speaking, yes. But you’re much better at it than we are.” The painting in question is The Concert by Johannes Vermeer, one of thirteen works of art stolen from Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990. With the help of a most unlikely ally, a beautiful Danish computer hacker and professional thief, Gabriel soon discovers that the painting has changed hands as part of an illicit billion-dollar business deal involving a man code-named the Collector, an energy executive with close ties to the highest levels of Russian power. The missing masterpiece is the lynchpin of a conspiracy that if successful, could plunge the world into a conflict of apocalyptic proportions. To foil the plot, Gabriel must carry out a daring heist of his own, with millions of lives hanging in the balance.

Publisher's Summary:

From the bestselling author of The Devil May Dance and The Hellfire Club comes a breathtaking thriller that explores the chaotic underworlds of the 1970's after an AWOL US Marine returns home to a strange and dangerous country. It's 1977. Ike and Lucy, Senator Charlie and Margaret Marder's kids, are grown up—and in trouble. US Marine Ike has gone somewhat off the grid, working on Evel Knievel's pit crew in Montana, when—after a bar fight—he has to flee a neo-Nazi gang and seek refuge in the woods with a group of Vietnam veterans. Lucy, a reporter, has become the star of the brand new Washington DC tabloid, the Sentinel, and is breaking all sorts of stories about a serial killer and falling in with the Lyons, the wealthy family that owns the newspaper, British immigrants with quite a different view of journalism than Lucy's heroes Woodward and Bernstein. As their lives spiral out of control, Ike goes on the road with Evel Knievel, the Vietnam veterans, and other societal outcasts, first heading to Graceland to mourn Elvis Presley, then going to confront politicians—for grievances real and perceived—on an island in Georgia. Lucy, too, is at that retreat with both her parents and the Lyon family, attendees at this retreat where the future of the post-Nixon Republican party will be decided. The confrontation turns violent and both Ike and Lucy have to make decisions that will affect them for the rest of their lives.

Publisher's Summary:

En una nueva fascinante obra maestra del autor bestseller # 1 del New York Times, Daniel Silva, Gabriel Allon emprende la búsqueda, de alto riesgo, del mayor falsificador de arte que haya existido. Legendario espía y restaurador de arte, Gabriel Allon por fin ha roto sus lazos con la inteligencia israelí y se ha establecido tranquilamente en Venecia, el único lugar donde ha conocido de verdad la paz. Su bella esposa, Chiara, ha tomado la dirección cotidiana de la Compañía de Restauración Tiepolo, y sus dos pequeños hijos han sido inscritos con discreción en la escuela primaria del vecindario. Por su parte, Gabriel pasa sus días paseando por las calles y los canales de la ciudad acuosa, despidiéndose de los demonios de su trágico, violento, pasado. Pero cuando el excéntrico londinense traficante de arte, Julian Isherwood le pide a Gabriel investigar las circunstancias que rodean el redescubrimiento y la lucrativa venta de pinturas de hace siglos, es empujado a un mortal juego de al gato y al ratón donde nada es lo que parece. Pronto, Gabriel descubre que el trabajo en cuestión, un retrato de una mujer no identificada atribuido a Sir Anthony va Dyck, es casi con seguridad una falsificación tremendamente inteligente. Para encontrar a la misteriosa persona que la pintó —y descubrir un fraude multimillonario en el pináculo del mundo del arte — Gabriel concibe uno de los engaños más elaborados de su carrera. Si quiere tener éxito, debe convertirse en el mismo reflejo del hombre a quien persigue: el falsificador de arte más excepcional que el mundo haya conocido. Elegante, sofisticada e ingeniosamente tramada, Retrato de una mujer desconocida es una travesía, por demás entretenida, en el lado oscuro del mundo del arte, un lugar donde traficantes sin escrúpulos con frecuencia engañan a sus compradores, e inversionistas de bolsillos llenos tratan las grandes pinturas como si fueran sólo otro tipo de activos para ser vendidos y comprados a cambio de una ganancia. Desde su apertura elegante hasta el impactante giro de su clímax, la novela es una proeza de narración y una de las piezas más finas de ficción sobre atracos jamás escritas. Y es una prueba más de que, cuando se trata de intriga internacional y suspenso, Daniel Silva no tiene igual.

Publisher's Summary:

''There are few more skilled practitioners of the craft of summer fiction than Beatriz Williams.'' — The New York Times Book Review A ravishing summer read from New York Times bestseller Beatriz Williams, sweeping readers back to a mid-century New England rich with secrets and Cold War intrigue. June 1946. As the residents of Winthrop Island prepare for the first summer season after the sacrifice of war, a glamorous new figure moves into the guest cottage at Summerly, the idyllic seaside estate of the wealthy Peabody family. To Emilia Winthrop, daughter of Summerly’s year-round caretaker and a descendant of the island’s settlers, Olive Rainsford opens a window into a world of shining possibility. While Emilia spent the war years caring for her incapacitated mother, Olive traveled the world, married fascinating men, and involved herself in political causes. She’s also the beloved aunt of the two surviving Peabody sons, Amory and Shep, with whom Emilia has a tangled romantic history. As the summer wears on, Emilia develops a deep rapport with Olive, who urges her to leave the island for a life of adventure, while romance blossoms with the sturdy and honorable Shep. But the heady promise of Peabody patronage is blown apart by the arrival of Sumner Fox, an FBI agent who demands Emilia’s help to capture a Soviet agent who’s transmitting vital intelligence on the West’s atomic weapon program from somewhere inside the Summerly estate. April 1954. Eight years later, Summerly is boarded up and Emilia has rebuilt her shattered life as a professor at Wellesley College, when shocking news arrives from Washington—the traitor she helped convict is about to be swapped for an American spy imprisoned in the Soviet Union, but with a mysterious condition only Emilia can fulfill. A reluctant Emilia is summoned to CIA headquarters, where she’s forced to confront the harrowing consequences of her actions that fateful summer, and a choice that could destroy the Peabody family—and Emilia’s chance for redemption—all over again. ''Grand and gripping...shot through with suspense, romance, and glorious, beach-laden locales. I could not put it down.''--Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The Mitford Affair
