THE LAST MASTERPIECE - LAURA MORELLI KARTONIERT...

In a race across Nazi-occupied Italy  two women?a German photographer and an American
stenographer?hunt for priceless masterpieces looted from the Florentine art collections. In the
summer of 1943  Eva Brunner is taking photographs of Nazi-looted art hidden in the salt mines
of the Austrian hinterland. Across the ocean in Connecticut  Josephine Evans is working as a
humble typist at the Yale Art Gallery. When both women are called to Italy to contribute to the
war effort  neither imagines she will hold the fate of some of the world's greatest
masterpieces torn from the Uffizi Galleries and other Florentine art collections in her hands.
But as Italy turns from ally to enemy and Hitler's plan to destroy irreplaceable monuments and
works of art becomes frighteningly clear  each woman's race against the clock?and against one
another?might demand more than they were prepared to give. The Last Masterpiece takes readers
on a heart-pumping adventure up the Italian peninsula  where nothing is as it seems and some of
the greatest works of art and human achievement are at stake. Who might steal and who might
save a work of art?and at what cost? Inspired by the incredible true story of the Monuments
Women  the Fifth Army WACs  and the looted Florentine art collections during World War II  the
latest historical novel by USA Today bestselling author and art historian Laura Morelli plunges
readers into the heart of war-torn Italy.
