She enlists the help of Castelli and Associates, which specializes in art crime, and Julian Peale is on the case. With Sam gone, his paintings' seemingly lost, hidden, or even a mirage' now stir a race to find out what happened, if not to cash in on his legacy.

Delving into the artist's past, Peale traces the threads of Sam's life across middle America, from Pittsburgh and Savannah to St. Louis and Atlanta.

Peale's investigation takes him to art schools, urban scenes, the high-end art market, and a migrant community trying to do good?except for a few gone bad. The missing paintings remain a puzzle until the end, a time when bigger mysteries' and darker forces' unfold when least expected."
"This book chronicles the lives of a Jewish family, the Kovacs, living on a small farm southwest of Budapest during the 1880?s. Their lives were profoundly impacted by the extraordinary circumstances that occurred during the first half of the twentieth century.... The catastrophe of World War One, the horrors wrought by the Spanish flu, and the atrocities of World War Two took the lives of untold millions. The lives of those who were fortunate to survive were forever changed. One hundred years ago, what was intended to be a small regional conflict between the belligerent nations of Serbia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, quickly evolved into one of the most decisive, but least understood events of the twentieth century. The so called Great War or the war to end all wars became a war of endless slaughter where twenty million people forfeited their lives for little or no gain. The war forever altered the physical landscape of Europe and created the collapse of empires that had existed for centuries. It also brought forth the worst global pandemic the world had seen since the bubonic plague of the fourteenth century, killing millions more. World War One, The Treaty of Versailles, The Treaty of Trianon, and the Great Depression provided fertile ground for the social, economic, and political unrest leading Europe and ultimately the United States into World War Two. We still hear the echoes of that dark and dangerous period today, and how our sense of humanity remains in question."

This volume by the author of “The Bible in Verse” has each of the people who feature in the story of Jesus’ ministry give their own perspective of what it was like to walk and talk with Jesus, or to lead the church in the first century. There were thirteen disciples, and many such as Paul, Barnabas, Luke and Silas who led the early church. There were also angels who conveyed messages from God, and men who opposed Jesus. Some Romans believed Jesus was the Son of God, others persecuted and killed Christians. Among the most grateful for the life of Jesus were the many he healed of recent or lifelong diseases and infirmities, or even death. It was the most transformative day of their lives. No other person has impacted human life and history more than Jesus. See him through the eyes of those who knew him best!

"In 1979, Virgil R. Lee and his family moved to the Dawson Street United Methodist Church in Thomasville, Georgia, where he would serve as pastor. The church newsletter that was mailed was printed on plain white bond paper, which meant the front page was blank. The author determined he'd use the space not for some kind of advertisement or promotion but to say something inspiring and encouraging. With that thought in mind, he wrote the first article, thinking about ?little sermons that I have seen and from 1979 to 1993, he wrote an article every week under that topic with only an occasional exception. After 1993, when he became district superintendent of the Americus District of the United Methodist Church, he began writing his messages monthly to coincide with the newsletter publication schedule of the district.
