Jerry has just embarked on a career as an art restorer, working as a freelancer but eagerly applying for positions in the museums of Toronto and London. Among her clients is a prestigious dealer who has given her a seventeenth-century painting to restore and prepare for auction. As Jerry removes modern overpaint, working meticulously through the first layer, she wonders why the oil paint below is so sensitive to solvents. A genuine painting of this era wouldn't respond in quite such a way to her treatment. She takes a tiny sample of the painting to a conservation laboratory where microscopic and x-ray analysis suggest that below the surface paint is another painting which may actually be the work of a Dutch master. Still, she has her doubts and wants to try one final procedure to confirm the paintin's true age. But her client refuses, and takes it to auction where it is declared authentic. Suddenly Jerry finds herself in danger; an attempt is made on her life. Someone is trying to silence her, but why? And what can she do about it? Determined to dig more deeply into the mystery, Jerry travels to Europe in search of the truth about the painting's authenticity. Written by a professional art restorer who specializes in historical oil painting materials and techniques, Masterpiece of Deception is a fast-paced mystery that takes the reader behind the fascinating scenes of art restoration and into the high-stakes world of art fraud.

"The Alchemist" is a comedy by English playwright Ben Jonson. It is generally considered Jonson's best and most characteristic comedy; famous literature critic Samuel Taylor Coleridge believed that it had one of the three most perfect plots in literature. The plot revolves around the household of Lovewit, a wealthy landowner. His housekeeper Face and her colleague Subs trade accusations on Subs' alleged involvement in alchemy, to the detriment of the household. The play's clever fulfilment of the classical unities and vivid depiction of human folly have made it one of the few Renaissance plays (except the works of Shakespeare) with a continuing life on stage.

This book exposes the reader to the world of visual art. Art is a byproduct of the artist's talent, concepts, beliefs, and perception. It is the creator's articulation of work based on knowledge, skill, experience, and passion. The images in this book are part of the author's abstract portfolio in different media.The auction features one artwork (refer to the book cover), which is the artist's rendition of the Australian terrain based on an aerial photograph taken by an astronaut. It is an honour for the author to share her visions and insights on art, with the hope to encourage, and maybe even inspire, aspiring visual artists to express their work freely, enjoying the journey of creativity. The care and love shown at the Windermere Aged Care Facility for its residents, as witnessed by the author, has influenced her to develop a storyline along the lines. About the Author: Estela has been creating visual art for over ten years. A self-taught artist, she paints sketches, and sometimes sculpts on clay. Her art genres include still life, portraiture, landscape; her subjects include flora and fauna, man, heavenly bodies, and abstracts. These days, most of Estela's time is spent in creating and teaching art and writing books. She equally enjoys creating art crafts for the young and the elderly. She was a devoted computer software specialist in the banking information technology for many years. Together with her (late) husband, she has raised two boys who currently reside with her in Sydney, Australia.

An entertaining collection of the most audacious and underhanded deceptions in the history of mankind, from sacred relics to financial schemes to fake art, music, and identities. World history is littered with tall tales and those who have fallen for them. Ian Tattersall, a curator emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History, has teamed up with Peter Néaumont to tell this anti-history of the world, in which Michelangelo fakes a masterpiece; Arctic explorers seek an entrance into a hollow Earth; a Shakespeare tragedy is "rediscovered"; a financial scheme inspires Charles Ponzi; a spirit photographer snaps Abraham Lincoln's ghost; people can survive ingesting only air and sunshine; Edgar Allen Poe is the forefather of fake news; and the first human was not only British but played cricket. Told chronologically, HOAX begins with the first documented announcement of the end of the world in 2800 BC and winds its way through controversial tales such as the Loch Ness Monster and the Shroud of Turin, past proven fakes such as the Thomas Jefferson's ancient wine and the Davenport Tablets built by a lost race, and explores bald-faced lies in the worlds of art, science, literature, journalism, and finance.
