Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures by Robert K. Wittman
3.0
Interesting, although the framing wasn't the greatest - it revolves around the most famous FBI art theft case, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft, which... still has not been solved. So you go into the grab-your-attention setting and details knowing that nothing's going to happen. At various points it's clear that there's a lot of FBI infighting, which is simultaneously out of nowhere and extremely boring - like, I wouldn't have wanted MORE info on that, but on the other hand LESS info would have made everything very confusing. The potted histories of some artists were also less than thrilling. It was kind of interesting, if you're interested in art theft during a certain period, but definitely not a re-read.
