Murchison's Estate

   At the end of the book, Ron continues in his art dealing profession with a chance of a lifetime: the sale of the Murchison Estate's art.  Built in the 1920s,  the Murchison Estate in Dallas was visited by United States presidents, movie stars, and even J. Edgar Hoover.  In 2001, Lupe Murchison, one of the wealthiest people in Texas, passed away.  Her family asked Ron Hall to sell all of the art on the estate, hundreds of pictures and statues.
  During this time, Ron hired Denver to live at the estate and be the night watchman.  Here, Denver discovered his art skills after using left over paints to create his first work of art.  Since then, Denver has crafted over a hundred pictures, selling some of them in his spare time.
