A priceless painting by famous English artist J.M.W. Turner has been rediscovered, and its owners must be traced before it can be sold. But who owns the painting? The answer to that question involves a search spanning seventy years and three continents: from Stalinist Russia to Hollywood in the silent movie era, revolutionary Bolivia, Australia, New Guinea. Linking the destinies of the Gulliver family is the skullduggery of the contemporary art market. Sweeping in its emotional, social and historical range, set against the panorama of twentieth-century history, "The Gulliver Fortune" is a gripping, absorbing novel.
