About this book
JAVIER GONZÁLEZ THE FAKE MASTERS A fascinating page-turner about master forgers and fabulous riches At the request of his elderly aunt, Jaime Aguirre travels to Russia in search of the remains of her fiancé, who disappeared without trace during the TwoWorld War had vanished without a trace. At the same time, Berta Wündermann, director of the Prado in Madrid, makes the surprising discovery that her grandmother Tania has always harboured a great family secret. These are the two events that transport the reader to Madrid during the Spanish Civil War, the city groaning under the inhuman regime of the dictator Franco, to the Prado Museum, where works of art are on display whose provenance is not always entirely clear, and to the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad, which, miraculously, was spared during the Nazi bombings. *The Fake Masters* by the Spanish author Javier González is a fascinating thriller set in the art world, based on two true but hitherto unknown facts: the unexpected discovery of a painting by Goya during the Spanish Civil War and the inexplicable disappearance of a painting by Van Dyck during the Second World War. A breathtaking tale of spies, forgers, Nazis and fabulous riches, in which nothing and no one is what they seem.
