When art expert Julius Köhler-Schultz returns home to Berlin in 1923, he's distraught to find his wife has left him and has taken his beloved Vincent van Gogh self-portrait with her. Then he meets charming art dealer Matthias, who claims he's found a cache of lost Van Goghs. Based on true events, this vivid novel of art and deception examines exactly how easy it is to lie to others—and to ourselves. (SM)
