The Curse of The Missing Masterpiece In process. Private consulting detectives Val Saxon and Laura Hampstead are summoned to the local branch of the State Dept., where they learn that a valuable painting by the artist Oskar Lubachenko has been stolen from the Russian consulate in NY. No one had seen or touched it before 1955. The piece was not very large, about 24" x 48", containing what looked like a pastoral scene in an impressionist style, with bold colors and sweeping brush strokes. But, photographs shown to Val and Laura of the piece are blurred and distorted, not like the others in the catalog. ♦
