A discovery in his mother's attic leads a painter into the dark
world of underground art dealings
Since childhood, Ben Contini has been enchanted by nudes. The first
painting ever to move him was a Modigliani, a portrait of a naked
and beautiful reclining woman. Though it scandalized his mother at
the time, it inspired him to become an artist; he specializes in
portraits but paints nudes whenever he can. Only when his mother
dies does Ben realize why Modigliani upset her so much: She had one
hidden in her attic. It is the most beautiful painting he has ever
seen, but he has no idea how the widow of an Italian refugee could
have come upon it. With the help of a mysterious Austrian woman who
appears at his mother's funeral, Ben discovers the painting's
connection to the art thieves of Nazi Germany. The beautiful nude
has made a strange journey to the Contini attic, and there are men
who would kill to cover her up.
