From Publishers Weekly
This debut from husband-and-wife team Al and Jean Zerries contains the promise of an innovative, topical thriller, but descends into familiar turf. The action starts with a daring art burglary-turned-homicide at a Park Avenue apartment. The crime soon reaches the desk of NYPD detective Clay Ryder, art specialist for the Special Investigations Division, but his nascent inquiry is sidelined when the Metropolitan Museum of Art receives what purports to be a long-lost original Van Gogh. Ryder soon identifies NYU film professor Rachel Meredith as the painting's heir. Meredith, the granddaughter of the painting's former French owner, opts to reclaim the portrait, a decision that leads to numerous attempts on her life-which shadowy Mossad figures tell the detective are linked to a wanted Nazi war criminal. The concluding section's abductions, gunfights and rescues don't match the originality of the novel's premise, which offers hope for more consistent quality in future books.

Absolutely Fantastic!
2006/5/30
形式:ハードカバー
The Lost Van Gogh by A.J. Zerries is a book fueled by action and intrigue. Its many twists and turns keep the reader on the edge of his/her seat, and the themes that run through it promise to keep anyone interested. Whether readers want an inside look at the world of art dealing, the workings of the NYPD, the hunt for Nazis in the years since World War II, or the human condition in general, they will find themselves anxiously turning page after page.
Readers can also count on being drawn in by the book's extremely well-developed characters, particularly those of Detective Clay Ryder and Dr. Rachel Meredith. A.J Zerries writes in such a way that readers get to know the characters from the very beginning and develop a strong attachment to them before they're even aware of it.
The Zerries' book is artfully written, well-researched, and is not to be missed. Five stars!

Watch out Dan Brown!!!!

"The Lost Van Gogh" is a true "page turner." I hate to use the vernacular of book reviewers, but it truly is. Imagine reading a book that takes you on a rollercoaster of a ride that involves the NYPD, Nazi war criminals, the Mosad, crooked art auction houses and the Japanese mafia. Even the best Imagineers over at Disney couldn't dream up such an exciting ride. This should be the beach book of the summer. Bottom line, if you enjoyed Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons (like I did), you will LOVE "The Lost Van Gogh"!!!

LITERARY GOLD...
2006/5/30
形式:ハードカバー
It's been a long time since I've read a book this smart, engaging and boldly written. Not only does A.J. Zerries pull off one of the more thrilling mysteries in recent memory, they do so with a deftness that rivals or exceeds most of their contemporary counterparts. After their masterful opening -- a great study in suspense -- we meet Clay Ryder, one of the least respected cops in the NYPD. Moreover, he's still reeling from the recent death of his wife, along with an unenviable family history. Getting inside Ryder's head, in my opinion, is where Zerries absolutely shines. The past that Ryder has tried so hard to shelve is only brought screaming back when van Gogh's lost Trabuc shows up at the Met. As his investigation progresses, and obsession with the painting's history grows, the rich parallels that rise between his dubious grandfather and the brutal Nazi, Udo Luscher, are starkly comprable. Zerries has clearly stumbled upon dramatic gold with Ryder's character. In addition, the pace and action are crisp, the dialogue and supporting characters authentic. I can't wait to see what these two put out next -- hurry up, A.J., I'm impatiently waiting!!!
