Art Attack - Paperback

by David L. Gersh (Author)

The Nauton Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art is running out of money. It is beset by forgery and awash in rebellious artists. It is being torn apart by a band of hostile curators with a director who's trying to turn things around if he could figure out which way to turn. Then there's the murder. Harvard Law Professor Jonathan Benjamin Franklin is at it again. He's been dealt a pretty good hand, but someone has raised the stakes when he wasn't looking. He can't fold; he will go to jail. And be disbarred. Assuming he lives that long. This art world is downright dangerous. Elegant society, fine art and ruthless business dealings create another art world mystery for Jonathan and his sidekick, Rufus, to sniff out.

Author Biography

David L. Gersh, the celebrated author (he celebrates quite often) is a recovering corporate lawyer whose long and checkered career started with his first deal, when he was sent to the great metropolis of New York for two days at the behest of his boss, Micky Rudin, to participate on behalf of Frank Sinatra in the sale of a bedraggled Hollywood movie studio to a small funeral home company (now known as Time-Warner), and returned two and a half months later, sidetracking a promising future as an impoverished poet. He attended Harvard Law School quite by accident. He is now a retired partner of one of the great international law firms, Paul Hastings, which he still loves dearly, from afar. He lives in Santa Barbara, California.
