“The Thefts of the Mona Lisa reads like a thriller. But this stuff is ALL real. It happened. You’re going to learn all about how and why one of the most famous works of art on the planet has attracted the attention of so many thieves and fanatics.” From the Foreword by New York Times best-selling author Steve Berry -- Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author This book reads like a thriller, but a historically sound art thriller. It is not just about the famous 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa but covers the entire background to the theft and its subsequent denouement with, in addition, plenty of judicious art history. Read it before (and after) seeing the real thing. -- Donald Sassoon, author of Mona Lisa: The History of the World's Most Famous Painting
