In the Full Light of the Sun

Three Berliners are caught up in a devastating scandal of 1930s' Berlin: Emmeline, a wayward, young art student; Julius, an anxious, middle-aged art expert; and a mysterious art dealer named Rachmann. A gripping novel based on a true story about Van Gogh's paintings and the rise of Nazi Germany.
