In the summer of 1980 a young Senate aide, Greg Hunter, discovers a painting at an estate sale in Virginia that he believes was painted by Johannes Vermeer, one of the old masters, and worth millions. He purchases the painting for $500 and later removes the frame from the painting and discovers a letter hidden in the back of the frame. He is stunned when he finds that the note, dated, November 1945, is from Adolph Hitler awarding the Iron Cross to U-boat Captain Wilhelm Hoffmann and presenting him the Vermeer painting for providing a safe passage for Hitler and his party crossing the Atlantic to South America. Hunter realizes that Hitler supposedly committed suicide in April 1945. Is he still alive? What follows is a desperate attempt by others to steal the painting and to find Hitler.

Theft of a Nation
Theft of a Nation presents a powerful criminological examination of Wall Street’s recent financial meltdown and its profound impact on the rest of the country. This provocative book asks why, if the actions of key players on Wall Street and in the government resulted in an economic downturn that harmed millions of Americans and destroyed capital worldwide, no one was held criminally liable for these actions. Author Gregg Barak provides a basic history of financial regulation and deregulation, as well as a primer on both securities fraud and mass victimization. Using key concepts in victimology and white collar crime, he explores the diverse ways civil and criminal law enforcement responded to the damaging behavior on Wall Street. The book also assesses Wall Street Financial Reform and the Consumer Protection Act of 2010, showing the ways that Americans may still be at risk. Theft of a Nation is the first comprehensive criminological investigation of the role of Wall Street and the government in the recent financial crisis, asking critical questions about who has been victimized and why.
