THE MYSTERY OF DA VINCI'S MONNA VANNA

Leonardo da Vinci died in 1519. He left behind a godlike reputation in art, engineering, and science. Prior to his death, art historians report that he withheld four paintings by his bedside: The Mona Lisa: Virgin and Child with St. Anne; John the Baptist; and the topless Gioconda––Monna Vanna.

After da Vinci's death, three of the paintings ended up in the Louvre ––where they are exhibited today. As to the Monna Vanna, her whereabouts remained unknown for five centuries until a young American art professor, Dov Markov, with the help of beautiful Mirielle Leclerc, head of the French Art Lost Registry, embarked on a breathtaking journey confronting powerful antagonists: a fanatic religious sect known as the “holy Madmen,” ruthless international art traffickers, Russian mafia, and officials of the United States Government.
