A retired engraver from Munich struggles to save the Bundesbank from a brazen California billionaire's scheme to counterfeit discontinued Deutsche Marks. Carl Fremdling is a 19th-romantic living a 21st-century life. His consulting practice evaporating, he faces a bleak old age when a friend finds him a new gig: fly to San Diego to tutor a reclusive businessman on the history of money. He is soon his prisoner, threatened with death unless he forges old D-Marks bearing Clara Schumann's image. Each night, locked in his room, the engraver confides in the pianist as he plans a daring escape from a captor, whose twisted motives are buried in the wounds of childhood. The novel has elements of a thriller and a generous dollop of humor, but at its deepest level it is a character study of the engraver and the billionaire who entraps him.If you are curious to know how the novel came to be written and more about the author, please click on Michael Lieberman above.
