Vanmeter is a lover of uncertainty. It’s where he finds opportunity. He was forced out of lucrative computer hacking. But art forgery? The mysterious Kule Fat presented him with all the art forgery supplies he could ever need, but no painter. Rome is where Vanmeter has to go to find his painter. But first he must travel to Zanzibar.

And Vanmeter’s mother Clara needs taking care of. A poor West Virginia woman who never traveled anywhere.
She knows nothing about her son’s plans and she doesn’t know she’s leaving West Virginia-for good.

An adventure of a lifetime that changes their lives in ways they never imagined.
