Description

"The Last Van Gogh" received the 2019 Maxy Award for Best Mystery-Detective Novel

A brilliant and troubled artist. A lost masterpiece. The desperate search for the truth.

An unknown Van Gogh painting disappears from France at the outbreak of World War Two. A notorious con man later claims he smuggled the immense painting to the U.S. where it is never seen again. Ninety years later, his two sons, Adam and Wesley Barrow, discover letters that supposedly confirm the painting's existence, now valued at $250 million if it exists.

Dogged by a dysfunctional childhood and skeptical of his father's tale, Adam at first dismisses the old letters.

The painting's possible existence also attracts the attention of three unscrupulous collectors, all former associates of his father, one of whom engages a professional killer to find the painting.

Doubtful of its existence, Adam teams with Katya Veranova, a beautiful KGB defector and ex-assassin, as they travel to Holland, Paris, California, and New York on a desperate mission, forming an intimate but tenuous bond. Tracked by the unseen contract killer and threatened at every turn, Adam and Kat face increasing danger in their quest to find the last Van Gogh.

A vivid description of all the greed and the urge to make money out of Art. The protagonists are struggling with the shadow of their dead father, while anyone with money and power is ready to commit any crime to satisfy his greed. Will Ottinger is a fully acknowledged writer, and the thriller is very easy to read, with its own pace, and surprises. The world will stop around you when you'll start to read the last 30 minutes of the book, nothing else will matter ... I just hope for the research of more unknown masterpieces ...
