The Lost Botticelli

An art history mystery-thriller. Daniel Bradley's task is simple: deliver a $50 million Donatello sculpture to Italy for a special exhibition. But before leaving Daniel learns that his old art professor has seen photographs of a dark painting hidden in a German castle, a painting that might be the lost Botticelli masterpiece Daniel has been seeking for a dozen years.

Daniel manages to view the painting, and the Lost Botticelli appears to have been found. But the Germans want millions more for the painting than Daniel and his old professor can ever raise, and two predatory buyers with plenty of money are anxious to get their hands on it. Meanwhile the Donatello statue in Daniel's care disappears and his career begins falling apart.
