520 2 "Tells the dark and compelling stories of iconic cultural
objects that were stolen, smuggled or sold, and eventually
returned back to their original owner. This book is
structured as a series of vivid stories in which the
reader joins the author as she uncovers a cultural
treasure and follows its often-convoluted trail. Along the
way author and reader encounter a cast of fascinating
characters from the underbelly of the cultural world:
unscrupulous grave robbers, sinister middlemen, ruthless
art dealers, venal Nazis, canny lawyers, valiant academics,
unstoppable investigative reporters, unwitting curators,
and dedicated government officials"--Provided by
