Good Read
This was a book club selection and I really enjoyed it. It based loosely on the real heist of millions of dollars of art from the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum in Boston in 1990. There are Faustian bargains, deceit, romance and ambition enough to keep the pace. I learned a lot about the art of forgery and how the passion of artists often result in a "deal with the devil".
