The author's inside view of the world of art theft investigations is interesting. He focuses exclusively on high-profile thefts, which in reality is but a small part of the thievery going on in the art world. That leads me to think that the motivation for those investigations is fame, and so the more mundane crimes by art dealers cheating artists and owners (for example, the kind I am unfortunately familiar with) are ignored and unpunished. But an interesting book nonetheless.
