Huddled in the vaults of the Museum are Heinrich Hoffer and three colleagues. Petty rivalries and resentments surface quickly in this confinement, and the vaults become a stage for an intense drama of secret histories and shared terror. Above ground, an American soldier is picking through the rubble, wishing he was studying art rather than dodging snipers. He discovers a small 18th century oil painting, which becomes a poignant link between him and the four charred corpses he finds at the same time. As the narratives interweave, the story of the painting reveals the hidden story of Herr Hoffer and his three associates - and in doing so uncovers other, darker mysteries."@en . . . . . . . . .

"On April 3, 1945, the advancing American army shells the historic town of Lohenfelde, and the Kaiser-Wilhelm museum.

After the shelling, an American corporal, Neal Parry, finds a beautiful eighteenth-century oil painting in the rubble, and must confront both its beauty, and the morality of stealing it. The stories of Herr Hoffer, Parry, and their paintings unfold simultaneously in this gripping, brilliantly structured novel about art and war."@en . . . "The rules of perspective" .
