In Rembrandt's Shadow (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780961451950)

It's 1616 in the Spanish Netherlands. Saul Levi Morteira rows ashore at night to rescue a family from the ravages of the Inquisition and take them to tolerant, egalitarian Amsterdam. Love blooms in Saul's heart that night, but the same qualities that spur him to greatness are the ones that doom him to unrequited love. The family recoups its fortune and, in gratitude, commissions Rembrandt to paint a portrait of Morteira. Almost four centuries later, Sara Miller and Josh Davila dig up the painting, hidden during the Holocaust in an ancient cemetery in Gibraltar. Now their task and their challenge is to search for the painting's rightful owner, but danger stalks them through the streets of Gibraltar, forcing them to flee to Paris. As they dodge thieves and a murderer, Sara and Josh struggle against impossible odds to fulfill a promise made sixty years before. In Rembrandt's Shadow follows the adventures of Sara and Josh that began in Shadow of the Rock, also by Eileen Haavik McIntire. Saul Levi Morteira was a rabbi in 17th century Amsterdam. He was instrumental in excommunicating the great philosopher Baruch Spinoza. In praise of Shadow of the Rock, Midwest Book Review called it "A riveting tale of time and humanity, highly recommended." Foreword Reviews said "A bold adventure....Chapters move quickly in a mixture of danger, excitement, and pure enjoyment..."
