The year is 1915 and the gruesome murder of James Redcliffs wife and son takes place in the upper-class Back Bay area of Boston. James Redcliff himself is found dead as he returns home from Albany. With little to go on, the Boston Police are at a loss on what or who is behind the familys murder. But a letter, which James sent before leaving New York, will shed light on the case. The letter alludes to a conspiracy by Franz von Papen and German agents to bring the United States into the war in Europe. A German U-Boat sails to fulfill Papens agenda, where hundreds, maybe thousands will die. Joined by the beautiful niece of Redcliff and a private detective, Royden Cheney receives the letter and the three find themselves racing from the streets of Boston to Northern Vermont. They become entangled in a conspiracy by a secret council that threatens the security of the United States as they seek to solve the murders before it is too late.
Art and Cultural Heritage is appropriately, but not solely, about national and international law respecting cultural heritage. It is a bubbling cauldron of law mixed with ethics, philosophy, politics and working principles looking at how cultural heritage law, policy and practice should be sculpted from the past as the present becomes the future. Art and cultural heritage are two pillars on which a society builds its identity, its values, its sense of community and the individual. The authors explore these demanding concerns, untangle basic values, and look critically at the conflicts and contradictions in existing art and cultural heritage law and policy in its diverse sectors. The rich and provocative contributions collectively provide a reasoned discussion of the issues from a multiplicity of views to permit the reader to understand the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of the cultural heritage debate.
