Rembrandt S Ghost

A lost masterpiece. A fortune beyond belief. A race to survive. For archaeologist Finn Ryan luck comes in the form of an unlikely legacy from a man she never knew. Along with her co-heir, Billy Pilgrim, she inherits a house in Amsterdam, a cargo ship off Borneo and what appears to be a fake Rembrandt. But behind its canvas lies a real Rembrandt portrait, which in turn conceals a clue to a centuries-old mystery at the bottom of the South Pacific. Pursued by ruthless adversaries, Finn and Billy are thrown into the hunt for a forgotten treasure that could change their lives forever... or end them in an instant. It doesn't take them long to realise that they've found one piece of a much larger puzzle – and a trail of clues that could get them killed. Rembrandt’s Ghost is perfect for fans of Scott Mariani, Clive Cussler and Chris Kuzneski.

"Mac" was on his way to a Halloween Party, dressed like his hero, Rembrandt. To complete his costume, he took his miniature etching press and a printing plate. The plate, however, had a magical effect and landed him on a dung boat in Amsterdam's harbor. It was now 1660, not 2012! Join Mac on the events that followed his unhappy travel in time as he was picked up by a Madam. Lucky she dumped him at Rembrandt's neighbor. However, he was drawn into the complications of Rembrandt's fallen, desparate state. Can Mac help his hero make a comeback? Or will the murderous Madam have her way with poor old Mac?

In 1652, on a backstreet in Old Amsterdam, a paper mill is working into the night as Rembrandt van Rijn, a regular customer of this establishment, makes one of his orders for fine etching paper. The 7-year old son of the owner, Arent de Gelder, goes with his father to deliver the finished paper. A casual gesture by the famous Rembrandt-a gift of an etching to the boy-changes the youngster's life. Another life-changing experience begins on October 31, 2012, when William "Mac" Handyside MacRitchie collapses in his printmaking studio. Mac comes to in a few minutes-but he is a little disoriented. There must have been some magic in the old copper etching plate he had been cleaning with lacquer thinner because, in the time of just those few minutes that he was passed out, he takes a week-long, trouble-filled quest to Rembrandt's time and place: 1660, Amsterdam. Mac's time-travel journey starts out badly as he discovers himself stowed-away on a putrid dung boat along with his Mini Halfwood etching press and printmaking chest. He embarks on a deadly liaison with a wicked procuress, poses as a scholar from the American colonies, and seeks to meet Rembrandt van Rijn. The famed artist, Rembrandt, desperate for money, believes Mac can help him make a comeback as a printmaker and so he covets Mac's Halfwood press. Mac will encounter Arent de Gelder, along the way. The rest is history!

One of the most significant and revealing paintings by the world famous artist Vincent van Gogh was never seen by anyone but the artist himself. The painting was so important to the artist that he painted it twice. He was so conflicted about the painting that he destroyed it twice. Cliff Edwards argues these two unique paintings Vincent created and destroyed are at least as important to understanding the artist and his work as are the two thousand or more paintings and drawings that do exist. In Van Gogh's Ghost Paintings, Edwards invites his readers on a journey that begins in a Zen master's room in Japan and ends at a favorite site of the artist, a ruined monastery and its garden in the south of France. Recovering the intent of van Gogh and the nature of his "ghost paintings" becomes a "zen koan" waiting to be solved. The solution offers access to the deepest levels of the artist's life as painter and spiritual pilgrim. The journey leads to the artist's choice of the biblical theme of the Garden of Gethsemane. The answer to the mystery of the lost paintings illuminates the relationship of joy and suffering, discovery and creation, religion and the arts in van Gogh's life and work. In this fascinating book Edwards solves a long-ignored mystery that provides a critical key to the relation of van Gogh's religion and art.

The haunting effects of crime, violence, and death in our history, memory, and media spaces From Abu Ghraib and Holocaust death camps to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and slave plantations, spaces where violent crimes have occurred can often become forever changed, or “haunted,” in the public imagination. In this volume, Michael Fiddler, Travis Linnemann, and Theo Kindynis bring together an interdisciplinary group of distinguished scholars to study this phenomenon, exploring the origins, theory, and methodology of ghost criminology. Featuring Jeff Ferrell, Michelle Brown, Eamon Carrabine, and other prominent scholars, Ghost Criminology takes us inside spaces where the worst crimes have imprinted themselves on our history, memory, and media spaces. Contributors explore a wide range of these hauntological topics from a criminological perspective, including the excavation of graffiti in the London underground, the phantom of Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, VA, during the 2017 riots, and the ghostly evidentiary traces of crime in motel rooms. Ultimately, Fiddler, Kindynis, and Linnemann offer ghost criminology as another way of seeing, and better understanding, the lingering impact of violence, oppression, and history in today’s world. Ghost Criminology curates cutting-edge research to break exciting new terrain.
