In the predawn gloom of a February day in 1994, two thieves entered the National Gallery in Oslo. They snatched one of the world's most famous paintings, Edvard Munch's <em>The Scream</em>, and fled with their $72 million trophy. The thieves made sure the world was watching: the Winter Olympics, in Lillehammer, began that same morning. Baffled and humiliated, the Norwegian police called on the world's greatest art detective, a half-English, half-American undercover cop named Charley Hill.</p>
In this rollicking narrative, Edward Dolnick takes us inside the art underworld. The trail leads high and low, and the cast ranges from titled aristocrats to thick-necked thugs. Lord Bath, resplendent in ponytail and velvet jacket, presides over a 9,000-acre estate. David Duddin, a 300-pound fence who once tried to sell a stolen Rembrandt, spins exuberant tales of his misdeeds. We meet Munch, too, a haunted misfit who spends his evenings drinking in the Black Piglet Café and his nights feverishly trying to capture in paint the visions in his head. The most compelling character of all is Charley Hill, an ex-soldier, a would-be priest, and a complicated mix of brilliance, foolhardiness, and charm. The hunt for <em>The Scream</em> will either cap his career and rescue one of the world's best-known paintings or end in a fiasco that will dog him forever.</p>

读后感
“名画不过是镶了框的巨额支票”这句话是从书里摘的。 作者爱德华·多尔尼克认为，小偷对博物馆美术馆毫无兴致，除非偷东西的时候。而驱使他们起了这个念头的，除了在黑道里争得荣誉感、在媒体上争得头版头条，或者是用这个作为条件跟政府谈判歪，最大的驱动力就是钱。 梵高...
评分几年前在人大听一堂大课，课上了一半，几个修理工模样的人鱼贯而入。 他们很有礼貌地对教授说道：“你们继续，我们只是把前几天坏掉投影仪给拆下来修理。” 于是，教授讲他的，我们听我们的，修理工拆他们的。 后来他们拆完了，仍旧很有礼貌地向教授道歉，因为拆卸过程似乎打...
评分光听书名就够有趣的了，而且这还是一部严谨的纪实文学。 作者讲故事的能力一流棒，时而插叙时而倒叙，还用有趣的语言把每个人物的性格刻画的入木三分。 主人翁不用说了，一如我们所有警匪故事中的一样，非常聪明，富有个性。 只有盗匪跟我们一直被电视、电影、小说所引导的...
评分我非常喜欢这本书的前半部分，特别是讲到艺术犯罪的操作方式和这个领域发生的奇闻异事的部分，初读起来既新奇又有趣，是一个对大千世界广度爱好者来说的全新视口。叙述的结构大致是以《呐喊》这幅超级名画在挪威失窃继而被希尔等探员追回为主线，当中不断穿插跟艺术犯罪有关的...
