Second World War fiction
Description
France, 1942: A Nazi Officer steals a Matisse painting which becomes a symbol of freedom against the oppressors.
Francesca, an artist and conservator, grieving over the death of her daughter at the hands of German soldiers, flees Paris. She has only a handful of paintings and a desire for revenge she is ill-equipped to pursue.
In the long hard winter that follows, she joins a group of Partisans in their battle to free France and salvage her culture. She becomes embroiled in a plot to recover Le Mur Rose, the stolen painting. The painting becomes her reason for fighting and an opportunity for revenge upon the occupying force - a force for evil.
An unforgettable wartime tale of vengeance, art theft, and intrigue.

Author Biography
Fredrik Nath is a full time Neurosurgeon. He has worked and lived all over the UK from Liverpool to Aberdeen to Edinburgh and Glasgow, finally settling in Middlesbrough, jewel of the Northeast! He lives with his wife and daughter, his three sons having grown up and flown the coop.
In his time, he has run twenty consecutive Great North Run half-marathons, trekked to 6000m in Nepal, crossed the highest mountain pass in the world and began writing like John Buchan, ‘because he ran out of penny-novels to read and felt he should write his own’. Fred loves a good story which is why he writes.
Fred has written six novels, all available from Fingerpress: the highly acclaimed, Roman ‘Galdir’ saga, and a series of World War II adventures.
