Details
by Daniel D. Smith (Author)
Author and Military Historian Daniel Smith brings to life this thrilling art heist in his historical fiction novel The Biltmore's Mona Lisa.
In 1941, France's national treasure, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa painting, was moved to the Biltmore House near Asheville, North Carolina, for safekeeping.
German General Hermann Goring hears about this move and sends a special Luftwaffe detachment to America by U-boat.
Their mission is to break out a German art expert from an American POW camp and continue to Asheville to steal the Mona Lisa, leaving a masterful forgery in its place.
Unbeknownst to the Nazis, a second scoundrel has a similar plan in place. However, while his wealth may provide him with the resources to succeed, his greed may be his undoing.
Will this villainy succeed? Only a disabled Army Air Corps captain and a French art curator from the Louvre stand in their way...
