GREENWICH, Conn., March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Jessica Shepard is dragged into a murder investigation involving a suspicious slew of creative personalities and art that was possibly recovered from Nazi Germany in Carol Baum's new mystery novel, "Murder at the Art Fair Raises the Stakes: A Jessica Shepard Mystery" (published by Archway Publishing).

After traveling to Miami to attend an international art fair, Dr. Jessica Shepard reconnects with Inspector Alain Raynaud, Canadian narcotics detective, who is there to help evaluate security. A new friend of Jessica recognizes a painting left behind in Germany when his family fled before World War II, and then an unexpected death occurs. Jessica is drawn into the mystery, wondering if the death was suicide or murder.

"It poses important questions about the prolonged effects of traumatic life events and the strains of technology on the psyche, and the importance of family and friends in preventing social isolation through an exciting and enjoyable mystery that asks was it a murder, and if so, by who and why?" Baum says.
