With Lee Sheridan's first glimpse of a small, dark portrait of a young girl, she senses she is seeing something special. And, as a private dealer of paintings and drawings, she's seen enough to know. What she doesn't know, and what will send her on a journey of intrigue and discovery is just how special it is. And, while the captivating smile of the girl in the portrait is what draws her and her friends in, it is the search to uncover her past that yields the greatest surprises, and promises even greater rewards.
Finding Rembrandt is a novel of masterpieces, mysteries and suspense, set in exotic locales of the past and present, from Amsterdam's Golden Age to the back offices and sales rooms of New York's top auction house. It is inspired by facts, and, in the spirit of Geraldine Brooks' People of the Book and Susan Vreeland's Girl in Hyacinth Blue, it traces the story of a work of art. Where has it lived? Through whose and how many hands has it passed? How has it survived the centuries? And, most importantly, who made it?
