The Rescue Artist: A True Story of Art, Thieves, and the Hunt for a Missing Masterpiece (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

This is an interesting story about art theft, in general, and specifically the theft of Edvard Munch's The Scream. I found the interworkings of undercover police work fascinating. However, it is not as the story of the recovery is not as fascinating.

Price: $11.20

Customer Review:

Bittersweet: that's the first word that comes to my mind after reading Helga Estby's story.

Some of these books just can't accept the truth, and perhaps the only one that deserves a response is the work by Susan Solomon, a meteorologist, who... more info
