<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War and the rise of the Third Reich, powerful and dangerous interests<br /> compete for possession of The Reaper, a painting by Spanish artist Joan Miro. The painting disappears in 1937 at the end of the Paris Exposition, leaving the art world and law enforcement authorities to speculate about the<br /> unsolved mystery.</p><p>Seventy-five years later, Magnolia Kanaranzi, estranged mother of struggling artist Hamilton Blethen, learns of the vanished painting and contrives a scheme to atone for casting him aside as a toddler. When she secretly arranges to have him paint a copy of The Reaper, Hamilton is convinced he is being asked to paint a forgery, posing an ethical dilemma for the artist at the same time he is being forced by his love for<br /> a woman to come to terms with the pain of being abandoned. The scheme turns violent when it interferes<br /> with Magnolia's rise to the highest levels of social prominence, but a shattered Blethen finds redemption<br /> in The Reaper.</p>
