Dam (short for Amsterdam) is an anglophile living in Boston who speaks with an English accent to conceal his stuttering. He works under cover of a legitimate art brokerage stealing art for a living-art that had previously been stolen, so the "owners" do not report his thefts. When dramatic events bring about the dissolution of management of the brokerage and the girl he met on a brief trip to England appears in Boston, Dam is forced to rethink his life and how it fits with those for whom he cares.

Hola! My name is Luis, and I live in an art museum in a town called Tarapoto, Peru with my mother and sister, María. The museum is on the bottom floor, and we live above it on the second floor. The museum is called Museo Cautivador, which means "captivating museum" in English. My mom, who I call Mamí, knows a lot about art, and people all over the world know her. She runs the museum; this job is called a curator, and it means that she also picks out the art to show. There isn't much permanent art in the museum, but Mamí's friends like to bring art from their museums and show it for a while at Museo Cautivador.The art is not just painting but also sculpture, textiles, or even architecture. And sometimes we show one kind of art or one style but have examples from all over the world.I wrote these letters to sharing exciting and mysterious stories of the visiting exhibitions we have at the museum. You might even learn something, like I did.

Luis writes us letters featuring mysteries and interesting tales about art history, artists, art movements, and art techniques.
