Two monumental granite statues by famed German artist Käthe Kollwitz—the Grieving Parents—have been stolen from a World War I soldiers’ cemetery in Belgium. What could the motive have been for such an unlikely theft? On a visit to the director of the Kollwitz Museum in Cologne, retired art history professor and Kollwitz scholar Megan Crespi is asked to aid in tracking down the robber or robbers. As she pursues clues and visits possible suspects more Kollwitz statues are stolen in Cologne and Berlin. Crespi’s itinerary takes her to the Berlin Kollwitz Museum, Weimar, the Baltic Sea island of Rügen, Greifswald, and finally to the Kollwitz House in Moritzburg. On the way she interacts with physicians Abraham Rückgabe and Iliana Frankel, the just-married couple Monika von Putbus and Akram al-Aljamie, and unscrupulous CEO of Rügen’s asbestos-contaminated Dorotek factory, Reinhold Fromm, collector of dominatrix drawings. We meet possible suspects, Iranian prince Yusri Pahlavi, greedy Lukas Zamann of the Galerie Zamann, and the mysterious “Marie Schmidt,” of Moritzburg, Kollwitz’s final home. All seem to be connected to the spate of Kollwitz thefts. Can Crespi solve these thefts and will the precious artworks be found? An unexpected denouement involving seven persons and two cats gives us the answer.

During a performance of Beethoven’s Fidelio at the Vienna State Opera there is an explosion in the foyer just off the auditorium. Auguste Rodin’s famous 1909 bronze bust of composer and conductor Gustav Mahler has been blown up and a hate-filled note has been left at the scene demanding that there be “no more Jews defiling our culture.” Retired art historian and musicologist Megan Crespi, in Vienna to lecture, is at the performance with her former student, the renowned cellist Egga Streicher, and is asked by her friend, Chief of Police Erich Decker, to help in tracking down the culprit. Soon copy-cat vandalism of Jewish monuments around the city breaks out. Things come to a horrendous climax during a performance of Mahler’s great Second Symphony, the “Resurrection” symphony, but is it the only surprise awaiting Megan Crespi’s dangerous investigation? Includes Readers Guide.

"Als eine der verdienstvollsten Kunsthistorikerinnen der jüngeren Geschichte hat sich die US-amerikanische Professorin Alessandra Comini unendliche Meriten erworben, insbesondere in der Erforschung des österreichischen Frühexpressionismus. Bis heute sind die Gespräche, die sie in Wien mit Zeitzeugen geführt hat, ein Fundament der Forschung, auf das immer wieder zurückgegriffen wird. Das alleine hätte Comini einen ganz besonderen Stellenwert in der Kunstgeschichteforschung gesichert, aber sie hat mehr als das getan, sie hat mit ihren interdisziplinären Recherchen über die Kunst des beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts eine Leistung erbracht, die bis heute kaum übertroffen wird." Klaus Albrecht Schröder, Generaldirektor der Albertina, Wien "Alessandras Großzügigkeit und die Leidenschaft, mit der sie ihr unerschöpfliches Wissen vermittelt, ist in akademischen Kreisen selten und so gut wie unbekannt in der konkurrenzbetonten Welt der Schiele-Sammler und Experten. Dieser Geist entspringt einem faszinierenden Leben und einer nicht endenwollenden Neugier auf alles, was diese Welt zu bieten hat." Jane Kallir, New Yorker Galeristin, Kunsthändlerin, Autorin "Sandrina, mögest du jeden Tag deines Lebens mit überschäumender Heiterkeit genießen." Raiberto "Tino" Comini (+ 1986), Vater, Fotograf, Musiker

A moving van filled with eleven Wassily Kandinsky paintings stolen from Munich’s famous Lenbach House Museum during a violent neo-Nazi demonstration is hijacked in Slovakia. Two rival Kandinsky collectors appear to be involved: Igor Rasputin of Odessa, visiting in Munich, and Boris Zima of Moscow, whose agent Raisa Sokolova is keeping tabs on Rasputin. Puzzlingly, the museum adamantly declares there has been no theft, even though its night watchman has been found murdered. Also visiting Munich is retired art history professor Megan Crespi, slated to give a lecture she titles, curiously enough, “Double Kandinsky.” In between visits to “mad” King Ludwig’s fantasy castles, Megan comes into contact with possible suspects, ranging from Rasputin to Iris and Laszlo Togarassy, owners of Munich’s new The Blue Rider gallery featuring Kandinsky’s works, to Katrina Keller, associate director of the Lenbach. Manipulating events connected with the theft are a young, careless gambler who owns a building behind the Lenbach, two men from the Ukrainian island of Amiinyi—one a computer wizard, the other a science photographer—and their Munich engineer friend Alyksandr Miesel, neo-Nazi leader Walter Krankenhauer, and Detective Dieter Löser. Crespi’s lecture, including results of state-of-the-art XRF technology, becomes the revelatory preamble to a thrilling denouement that cracks the Kandinsky conundrum.
