NEW YORK—December 1, 2015–Morgan James Fiction’s new release, Provenance by Robert Moeller, takes readers on a suspenseful journey through the dark dealings of New York’s elite art world.
Imagine for a moment that a vit
al piece of history was discovered today. An artifact from a past civilization is uncovered, or previously unseen manuscripts from an early philosopher are found. Imagine the news. Imagine the intrigue. Imagine all the questions that it would bring. This is precisely what happens in Robert Moeller’s new novel, Provenance.
When a lost Leonardo da Vinci painting mysteriously surfaces in a New York City art gallery, the art world is abuzz. Where did it come from? Where has it been? Is it even real? Art expert Sam Driscoll sets out to find the answers. Following his journey for truth, readers become enveloped in the story. Intense mystery, the shroud of art culture’s dark underbelly, and a behind-the-scenes look at the dealings of New York’s most elite, all come together to make Provenance a riveting historical adventure.
Years of experience in the art industry have led Bob Moeller to pen his mystery with both cultural accuracy and expert authority. With its plot twists and true-to-life setting and characters, Provenance is captivating and intriguing in a way that echoes “The Da Vinci Code” and “I Bought Andy Warhol”. Even those who have no previous knowledge or interest in art culture will find themselves hooked and begging for answers.
Will the discovery of this magnificent painting be overshadowed by the greed, power, and deceit surrounding it? Its integrity can only be protected if Sam Driscoll tracks down where it really came from. Become an art expert and find the truth along side of him in Provenance.
