Forever Art — Daniela Ruiz

"A fascinating expose of the power, the treachery and the life and death struggles behind the headlines of today's glamorous high fashion art scene in New York and Paris, delivered in a page-turning thriller format. I couldn't stop reading. This is certain to appeal to anyone who loves art!"

When New York City's top art agent, April Mercier, discovers the hidden, presumed destroyed and blood-tainted Paris Collections she realizes that her family's famous name is built upon the murder of Jewish families and the pillaging of their art. Haunted by memories of abuse and murder, hunted by vengeful enemies and hounded by a Nazi hunter, April Mercier's life and sanity are teetering on the brink. But April needs to keep the Collection, not only to save her career, but to understand her damaged past.

Forever Art follows April's journey of discovery and self-discovery through the twisted, shadowy channels of the international art world, its openings, auctions, back stabbings, jealousies, dirty-deals and the overriding beauty of its substance. Based upon historical events and including today's scandals, Forever Art is a thriller that rings truer than fiction; it exposes the naked soul of a powerful but decadent business.
