When celebrated author Jack Rogan stumbles upon a hidden diary, he can’t resist investigating. Honouring the last wish of a dying friend, he is irresistibly drawn into a web of intriguing clues, hinting at a long forgotten treasure.
Joining forces with Cecilia Crawford, a glamorous New York journalist, and Tristan, a remarkable boy with psychic powers, Jack soon finds himself on a precarious journey of discovery, exposing dark secrets from a distant, violent time, when life was cheap and cruelty ruled without mercy.
Will Rogan succeed? Can he find the forgotten treasure he has been searching for, or will it be lost forever, depriving the world of a masterpiece that belongs to all mankind?
Author's Note The Forgotten Painting is a novella, and as such, it is of course much shorter than my novels. That was one of the reasons I have chosen this genre as the vehicle to introduce new readers to my work. However, I hope it will also entertain existing readers and give them something new and exciting to explore and enjoy.

4 and 1 / 2 stars
This novella travels back and forth between time periods, but it only enhances the story.
Berenger Krakowski, a concert violinist, and his family lived in the Warsaw ghetto in 1943. When the Nazi’s came, they confiscated the painting called “Little Sparrow in the Garden” that was on the wall and sent the entire family to Auschwitz. The sole survivor of the family, the son, Benjamin, had the painting recovered by Jack Rogan, a famous author.
Jack Rogan recounts how he found the painting by following the directions written out by his deceased friend, Brother Francis. Jack spent three months at a mission run by Brother Francis when he was a teenager. Brother Francis made Jack his heir and the keeper of a legacy.
Jack follows the direction in the diary of Brother Francis and what follows is a journey through several cities on a treasure quest told in a brilliant literary style. This is not reading a book, it is being told a story. The reader can hear the words and almost see the speakers.
We are introduced to Tristan who is a psychic young man. He aids in locating the painting in a crypt. We also meet Isis who is a very wealthy woman.
When the found painting is called a forgery, Jack tells us the story of how the situation came about and how it was resolved,
This book is extremely well written and plotted. The fascinating provenance of the painting is very well illustrated. It is absolutely entrancing. I truly enjoyed the book and look very much forward to reading more of Gabriel Farago’s novels.
I want to thank Gabriel Farago for forwarding to me a copy of this little novella to read and enjoy.
Ben Krakowski’s father received an original Money painting by the artist himself when he was young. As the war got closer and the Warsaw ghetto was being emptied a desperate father sells his precious painting in hopes it will scar his family before he can part with the painting he asks his friend to make a copy for him. Unbeknownst to him his friend gives the original back to Mr. Krakowski and puta the forgery in the original Monet frame. Jack Rogan is raised in the Australia’sn outback where he meets a father Gabriel who changes his life. When the father dies he asks Jack to complete a mission for him to set the past right. Years later he finds himself in Berlin and remembers his promise to the old priest. So starts his adventure which ends up leading him to a missing masterpiece! This was a short story but just as thrilling and well written as the other Jack Rogan books. I really enjoyed this book and this series! The author is nothing short of genius. I look forward to reading more of his work! I highly recommend this book!
First off, I got this book as a freebie! But that doesn't change how I feel about it and the author!
Historical fiction fascinates me and this tale of a painting's journey from WWII Germany to present day really has it all. This beautiful painting shows up at an auction, complete with eye-witness accounts to prove its authenticity, flashbacks from a concentration camp and a ranch in Australia, a war crime investigation, and more! Hard to put it down once you start as it pulls you in like a whirlpool... Highly recommend this book!
I am not going to comment on the plot. The summary says it all. I am going to comment on that unmistakably Dan-Brownesque style that readers either love or hate. Farago adopts every Brownesque gimmick and takes it to the extreme. Even if you don't have ADHD, you will feel like you. The narrative jumps across the globe, across the decades. You go from Nazi occupied Poland to New York to Australia. It's very easy to lose track of who is related to whom. And this is my "favorite" Dan Brown offense the characters are talking heads with minimal psychological development and almost non-existent character arcs. They exist solely to open their mouths at the right time to feed the reader bits and pieces of background esoterica. Incidentally, they are all extremely accomplished, erudite and talented. Painters, musicians, art critics. Not a single plumber or bartender in the house. You just can't bring yourself to care to them, because you do not see their humanity behind all their accolades. But if you do not read novels for character development, then this one is for you. Art, Nazis, musicians, decade-hopping, secret societies and you have another metastatic Dan Brown knock-off. What's not to love?
