I was blown away by this book. Simple, everyday living by a local parapalegic, living in my own neighborhood. It is told with honesty, dignity and self deprecating humor.
This fast and fun mystery is a very modern story grounded in an ancient tale. Lucretia was married to a Roman war hero and was renowned as a stunning and virtuous beauty. Her history, however, is heartbreaking. Centuries later Rembrandt painted her in a pair of ravishingly beautiful portraits known as his Two Lucretias.
Now a stunning third Lucretia has been found and its beauty rivals the others. American high school art students, Kari and Lucas, are conspicuously not surprised by the dramatic discovery. They have been chronicling their suspicions for a long time. Now they must plot, lie, sketch and traipse around through museums in London, Paris, and Amsterdam. They must do this while wearing fabulous clothes to disguise their identity and protect their lives. Millions are at stake in this international art caper and the lives of two teens, however talented, are worth little in comparison.
