A Death in Auvers

Meer over het boek

A novel by Steven Schaefer tracing the life and death of Vincent van Gogh, and exploring whether van Gogh's death might have been murder. An American couple in modern-day France are renovating an old house outside Paris when they uncover evidence of political intrigues from 1880's France and Europe. They find a journal that seems to be in Vincent van Gogh's hand, and a gun that may have been used to kill him, then hidden away. Their eager curiosity to trace the history of their house and the items they've found lead them into a perilous adventure with art thieves, as they uncover more and more evidence that Vincent was similarly imperiled by political forces that still factor in European politics now.
