Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 20 Summary: “Manhattan”

Margaux meets with Griffin Freund. They first discuss Adam’s return to the art world and that she wants Adam to be exhibited at Art Basel. It won’t be easy for Griffin to make those arrangements, so it will cost her, which he realizes she can’t afford. He has heard she is struggling financially. Margaux is angry that those rumors abound and assures him that she is financially secure. In return for getting Adam into the exhibition, she will give Griffin a substantial cut from the profits when he sells some of her stolen art. She also wants Griffin to put her in contact with Milo Wolff. Griffin agrees.

Chapter 21 Summary: “Berlin”

Jules, Dan, Ellis, and Bakker meet with Stefan Dassel. Stefan is nervous. He worries they are trying to dredge up aspects of his family’s Nazi past. They assure him they are only looking for the painting. Stefan remembers seeing the painting once. His grandfather didn’t have it for long. He also knows a little about Arno Baum, though he never had connected Arno Baum with Ellis. His grandfather hid the Baum family during the war. Stefan knows more, but is reluctant to tell them what his father, Franz, told the family on his deathbed.
