A talented painter, Jack Gillcrest, is drawn into the world of art forgery and a high-stakes heist in Lost on the Sea of Galilee.

In Lost on the Sea of Galilee, Jack Gillcrest is a talented painter who finds himself drawn into the perilous world of art forgery. Despite his skills, Jack struggles to create authentic works of art, which leads him down a path of deception. Encouraged by his supportive girlfriend, Grania, he initially dabbles in creating forgeries of renowned masterpieces. However, the thrill of the counterfeit art scene soon escalates into something far more dangerous as Jack becomes involved in a high-stakes art heist.

As Jack delves deeper into forgery, he begins to produce increasingly complex fakes, ultimately leading him to participate in a daring theft of two hundred million dollars worth of art from a prestigious museum in Boston. Among the stolen treasures is a priceless Rembrandt painting, Storm on the Sea of Galilee, which presents Jack with his greatest challenge yet. The pressure mounts as he navigates the treacherous waters of crime, risking everything he holds dear.

Lost on the Sea of Galilee explores themes of ambition, deception, and the fine line between art and forgery. Jack's journey reveals the lengths to which one might go to achieve recognition and success, even when it means compromising one's integrity. As he grapples with the consequences of his choices, readers are taken on a thrilling ride through the art world, filled with intrigue and moral dilemmas.
