Description:
George Kulles presents a murder mystery surrounded by a web of historical intrigue in this fast-paced thriller. When the world's most valuable paperweights disappear from Sotheby's New York the police suspect everyone. They're stumped and it seems the treasures will be lost to the world. There are simply no further avenues to follow. Or can the clues be found in the past of the paperweights?
Kulles performed extensive biographical research to bring the world's most historically famous paperweight collectors to life. Visit the world of Princess Eugenie, who spent twenty years mourning the loss of her husband and son. Follow Oscar Wilde's meteoric rise to stardom and his disgraceful fall from nineteenth-century Victorian society. Visit Eva Peron - the woman who promoted herself from harlot to President's wife. Acquaint yourself with the eccentric world of Truman Capote. Meet some of the most famous modern collectors including King Farouk, Arthur Rubloff, Paul Jokelson and Lawrence Selman.
At the center of this puzzling mystery reside three crystal paperweights - the most complex examples of glasswork ever produced. Are the tragedies the owners of these pieces suffer natural, or does it all have something to do with The Curse of the Imperial Paperweights?
