I'd never heard of this early 1900's theft of Mona Lisa from the Louvre, so looked forward to the details of the investigation and some of the facts around the heist. I was doomed to disappointment, surprised that the story was so highly speculative, providing next to no factual basis for the author's conjecture about the theft.
I never did grasp the point of Scotti's story because it read like a poorly-plotted novel with gushy comments about the allure of the lady in the painting, irrelevant side stories involving other artists, unverified con men (Valiferno) and irrelevant general French history.
