In 1938 the Sonderprojekte is establish under the watchful eye of Adolf Hitler, aka The Collector — and Germany begins to 'acquire' the great artworks of Europe. Twenty-six-year-old Ernst Vogler is sent to Rome to collect a famous marble statue, The Discus Thrower, and return with it to Berlin in three days. Those few days will change his life forever. 'A wild ride that sets quirky and lively humanity against the grinding, impersonal forces of war, history and power.' Library Journal
