Description
Lily Kovner could not have dreamed that research for a magazine assignment would resurrect a searing memory from her childhood. A fleeting glimpse of a family treasure looted by the Nazis launches “Afikomen” –her quest for justice and restitution spanning three continents. Along the way threats, murder, and the revelation of a diabolical secret deal thrust Lily onto an emotional rollercoaster further complicated by the thrill of new romance.
“Frank has written a kind of fusion of a Jewish whodunit, a Holocaust memoir and an international treasure hunt…. It’s a really good, truly action-packed read, especially for anyone with an interest in Judaica and the world of Nazi-looted art…a significant accomplishment.”–Tom Freudenheim in The Jewish Daily Forward
“After the Auction is a work of fiction, yet it is a true tale–about false identities and reclaiming one’s identity decades later.”–Susan Adler, Hadassah Magazine online
