Melvin Flack has given up on his dream of becoming an artist until he discovers 14 paintings hidden in a derelict building in the Bronx. To his shock, they're signed by his idol, Claude Monet. And the subject! Is it possible Monet designed Yankee Stadium in 1921? If these paintings are authentic, who gets the 600 million dollars they'll get at auction? And what's in the mysterious journal that Mel finds with the art?

Suddenly everything that Mel has given up on seems within his grasp. Can he redeem his past as a failed artist? Can he find someone to glorify with his art, who can love him? Is Claude Monet, through the words in his journal, whispering in Mel's ear, inspiring him? The stakes couldn't be higher when bilious billionaire, real estate kingpin Holcombe Parkes claims the paintings. Mel fights like his whole life is on the line… because it is.

With Claude Monet Designs Yankee Stadium, author R. Lee Procter has created an astonishing, comical and deeply moving romantic adventure like no other.
