The Van Gogh Conspiracy
In *The Van Gogh Conspiracy,* the discovery of a "new" painting by Van Gogh hidden in the barn of a rural French farmhouse sets the art world spinning. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam authenticates the painting, and the poor French family in whose barn it was discovered stands to collect millions once the painting is auctioned. But a holocaust survivor living in New York claims the painting is actually his, and was stolen from him by the Nazis. He hires a team to help him prove that the "bill of sale" he has in Van Gogh’s handwriting is authentic. The international investigation leads to the discovery of another never-seen-before Van Gogh, and the revelation that someone working in the Van Gogh Museum has access to an entire horde of famous painting stolen by the Nazis during World War II—and has been secretly sending them to former Nazis around the world so that they can sell them at auction and make millions.

The historical records presented illustrate mainly the relationship between the government of the Genoese Republi...
