As the Germans see the end of the war approaching, they quickly take priceless pieces of art. However, the Mona Lisa has been moved to a safe place so it wouldn't fall into the hands of the Germans. Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring knows the end of the Third Reich is near and feels that he needs a bargaining chip to secure his fortune and life once the war is over. He's determined to get his hands on the Mona Lisa and will stop at nothing, to get it. Not even a little girl would be spared if he and his helpers had their way.
Gabi and Eric are Swiss OSS agents and have arrived in France as Paris was being liberated. They are given a new task once they reach Paris: secure the Mona Lisa before the Germans can get to it. A variety of circumstances hold them up as they are driving to the Swiss chateau. Will they make it in time to save the Mona Lisa? Who must give up their lives in order for the Mona Lisa to be saved? Will it ever return to her home at the Louvre?
This book was so action packed that I had difficulty putting it down. I stayed up way too late to finish this book! I don't think that I would have normally picked up this book to read on my own but I'm so thankful that I did. It's packed with history and facts that I never knew about the Mona Lisa and France. This is a book that will definitely be recommended to people over the next few months. It is the most exciting book I've read in a while! I actually had no clue how the end would turn out because there were so many twists and turns that I did not expect to occur. I'm going to have to check out their first book that they wrote together now.
