"Rapid-paced action burns from the pages where no one can be trusted and danger lurks around every turn." -Paulette Mahurin, international best-selling author of The Seven Year Dress
In the waning days of WWII, a Nazi officer stashes masterpieces in a bunker only to seethe for years stranded behind the Berlin Wall. Decades later, budding Mossad agent Beryl Jaffe and her banking magnate husband, Marco Bellagio, chase a tip about Nazi plundered paintings, only to make a shocking discovery-former East German Stasi agent, Werner Boesseneker, is laundering his father's stolen paintings in the new millennium.
Realizing jet-set passions are no match for Beryl's nobler pursuits in hunting Werner, Marco slowly yields to his wife's batting eyes and steely determination. Love, loyalty, and a quest for restitution drag him into the Mossad's embrace. When the couple near the truth about Werner's real identity, they must confront a dark secret of their own buried deep in East Berlin. Will either side risk exposing past crimes to win today's cat-and-mouse battle? Beryl and Marco plot traps spanning the Mid-East, Silicon Valley, and Holland as modern-day spies counter legendary espionage guile.
Jeff Ulin's thriller Provenance of Ashes thrusts the weight of haunting history into a marriage grappling with higher priorities. Read it now and travel into a world of shadows where the mantra never forget motivates patriots of good and evil.
