Mystery Historical
The charming Eduardo de Valfierno makes a very respectable
living in Argentina fleecing the nouveau rich—they pay him
to
steal valuable pieces of art, and Valfierno sells them
flawless
forgeries instead. But when Eduardo meets the beautiful Mrs.
Hart on his latest con, he takes a risk that forces him
back to the
city he loved and left behind—Paris. There he assembles his
team of con artists for their final and most ambitious
theft, one
that will enable them to leave the game forever: The Mona
Lisa. But when a member of the team turns up missing, and Mr.
Hart shows up in Paris, Valfierno and his crew must stay one
step ahead of a relentless police inspector, endure a
devastating
flood, and conquer their own doubts to keep the priceless
painting in play—and survive. Based on the actual theft of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre
in 1911, and published on the 100th anniversary of the
crime,
Stealing Mona Lisa is a sophisticated, engaging
caper, complete with
a richly imagined group of con artists and a historical
mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end.
