Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa was stolen in 1911 by an Italian janitor who worked at the Louvre. Starting with this historical premise, Carson Morton has woven a colorful crime caper sure to delight art lovers, Francophiles, and anyone who enjoys a pulse-quickening thriller. The eclectic band of rogues who plot to swipe the masterpiece (so they can sell knock-offs to greedy collectors) is charming and clever…propelling the plot with Parisian panache!
