It is August 1944 and Paris is on the cusp of liberation. As the soldiers of the Third Reich flee the Allied advance, they ravage the country, stealing countless pieces of art. Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring will stop at nothing to claim the most valuable one of all, the Mona Lisa, as a post-war bargaining chip to get him to South America. Can Swiss OSS agents Gabi Mueller and Eric Hofstadler rescue DaVinci's masterpiece before it falls into German hands?
With nonstop action, Chasing Mona Lisa is sure to get readers' adrenaline pumping as they join the chase to save the most famous painting in the world. From war-ravaged Paris to a posh country chateau, the race is on--and the runners are playing for keeps.

My take on this book:
Excellent! Top notch writing and research. Absolutely great book. This wasn’t a book that I sat and read straight through in one day. It was a book that I savored. I enjoyed the authenticity of the time period, the circumstances and the characters. It felt like this could have been a non-fiction book! I am definitely going to look for more books by Tricia Goyer and Mike Yorkey.
It did not end the way I thought it would, either. Just saying
