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 
       publishers.
