If you like art history, you'll enjoy this book. It's the first of a series set in Rome and London featuring Jonathan Argyll, a London-based art dealer, and several of the staff of the Italian National Art Theft Squad based in Rome. Lots of juicy inside details about the art world, art theft and fraud...and the author paints a vivid picture of several European cities that makes you want to hop on a plane and go there! I've already read a couple more in this series and they get better and better--but for a first book, this is an excellent beginning.
