Karl-Johann Wallgren is the author of eight novels, translated into major European languages and becoming bestsellers. After the death of Victor Kunzelmann, a famous collector and museum expert with a worldwide reputation, a unique collection of paintings remained. Victor's son, Joachim Kunzelmann, a young waster of life and the rest of his money, is looking forward to his inheritance, because creditors have been knocking on the door for a long time. We need to start selling paintings as soon as possible! And then it turns out that the famous collection does not exist. What did his father collect? Exploring Victor's double life, Joachim learns that during the Third Reich, his father was a forger, was imprisoned in a concentration camp for homosexual relations, and spent his entire life brilliantly forging paintings by great artists. And perhaps the masterpieces kept in museums around the world belong to the brush of his father...What is a copy and what is an original? How blurred are these concepts in the modern world, where there is nothing else but fakes: women with silicone breasts, fake advertising, lies from politicians from the stands. Perhaps his father was simply ahead of his time?
