A great new fictionalization of the greatest art theft in history - the Mona Lisa. But this one is different. First, it is a psychological portrait of the thief and how he is unable to stop divulging the details of his escapade. Wonderfully drawn story of the life of this man and what makes him tick. If you like great characters, great story, and great history all rolled into one novel - this one is interesting and a good read. Also, it is a fine translation from the Italian which retains the Italian flavor - enough to transport the reader to Italy.
