Mystery in Montmartre is a poignant art mystery about loss, family betrayal, and deliverance set in the whimsical streets of Montmartre in Paris as André Gensonné seeks the mysterious woman in an obscure painting.
Aloof and predictable, art crime attorney André Gensonné, moves in the upper echelons of the Parisian art world, an expert in his field, until he sees a woman he spent an evening with decades ago, displayed in an obscure painting. The painting disappears but André obsesses over the American woman and the missing artwork.
The water scene plunges him back to Calvi Bay and his twin brother’s drowning when they were eighteen. Numb with unburied grief, André needs to reconcile with his still hurting family.
He tasks his colleague Michel la Roche with the initial search for “Anne” and all clues lead to Montmartre—and a mysterious painter.
When long-concealed secrets threaten the integrity of the family’s four-generation law firm, André must choose between protecting the legacy and justice.
Mystery in Montmartre is a testament to the power of family, and the surprising grip of World War Two in contemporary France.
Sixty Mortal Sins is a complex art mystery backdropped by the controversial renaissance artist Caravaggio—his St. Sebastian was last seen in France 300 years ago. Can André Gensonné find the painting before his family is destroyed?

Sixty Mortal Sins is a complex art mystery backdropped by the controversial renaissance artist Caravaggio—his St. Sebastian was last seen in France 300 years ago. Can André Gensonné find the painting before his family is destroyed?
André Gensonné lifted a mountain when he shouldered responsibility for his grandfather’s sixty Mortal Sins, paintings with questionable provenance dating from World War II. His goal? Spare no expense to return them to legitimate owners. When he receives threatening letters demanding the return of St. Sebastian, a long-lost Caravaggio Masterpiece linked to his grandfather, his efforts to redeem his family legacy seem futile.
And André is wooing Anne, the woman of the Montmartre painting, who floats in and out of his life like a mythical sprite.
Set in Paris and the Loire Valley, this art mystery includes an intriguing cast of characters, including Guillaume, the last surviving member of a two hundred fifty-year-old furniture company, with a surprising link to Caravaggio’s St. Sebastian.
Sixty Mortal Sins is an intriguing tale of the vagaries of Europe’s lost and stolen art mixed with decades-old family secrets and surprisingly, two weddings and a funeral. Isn’t that the name of a movie?
Angels and Thieves is a heartrending art mystery anchored by André and Anne Gensonné’s desperate search for their abducted newborn. A missing Raphael, recurring angels, and a mystical painting add to the chaos…
Trembling with fear, André Gensonné tells Anne that their newborn infant is missing from the hospital nursery. Due to an emergency
Angels and Thieves is a heartrending art mystery anchored by André and Anne Gensonné’s desperate search for their abducted newborn. A missing Raphael, recurring angels, and a mystical painting add to the chaos…
Trembling with fear, André Gensonné tells Anne that their newborn infant is missing from the hospital nursery. Due to an emergency Cesarean delivery, only he had seen her. The prominent Parisian couple suffers from intense media scrutiny in the best of times. Should they go public now?
His colleague and friend, Michel la Roche, has had visions of angels and death, warning André in the month prior to the premature Christmas Day delivery. André thought it was nonsense until his baby girl disappeared.
During Anne’s pregnancy, André was embroiled in a futile search for a missing Raphael, the painter of Madonnas—and that goofy Michel thought he saw Raphael’s putti (angels) in his dreams.
Everyone is suspect, including an old nemesis, an eccentric woman with a mysterious past linked to World War II, and plain thugs. Timing is essential and André and Michel exploit every resource.
Angels and Thieves is a fast-moving art mystery that grips the reader with fear for Anne’s baby, intrigues the reader in the possibility of the mystical, and inspires hope for those involved with the horrors of the past in World War II.
