Fourteen-year-old Massimo is all alone. Newly orphaned and fleeing from Rome after surviving the American bombing raid that killed his parents, Massimo is attacked by thugs and finds himself bloodied at the base of the Montecassino. It is there in the Benedictine abbey's shadow that a charismatic and cryptic man calling himself Pietro Houdini, the self-proclaimed 'Master Artist and confidante of the Vatican,' rescues Massimo and brings him up the mountain to serve as his assistant in preserving the treasures that lay within the monastery walls. But can Massimo believe what Pietro is saying, particularly when Massimo has secrets too? Who is this extraordinary man? When it becomes evident that Montecassino will soon become the front line in the war, Pietro Houdini and Massimo execute a plan to smuggle three priceless Titian paintings to safety down the mountain. They are joined by a nurse concealing a nefarious past, a café owner turned murderer, a wounded but chipper German soldier, and a pair of lovers along with their injured mule, Ferrari. Together they will lie, cheat, steal, fight, kill, and sin their way through battlefields to survive, all while smuggling the Renaissance masterpieces and the bag full of ancient Greek gold they have rescued from the 'safe keeping' of the Germans"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult New Books Miller Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Miller Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Miller Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books Miller Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Miller Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult New Books Miller Checked out 07/09/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Miller Checked out 07/02/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Miller Checked out 07/05/2024 Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Miller Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Miller Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
