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
1994年2月12日一大早，两名男子在50秒内，用一架梯子就偷走了在挪威国家美术馆展出的、价值七千二百万美元的<呐喊>，爱德华·蒙克最出名的作品，容易得难以相信，甚至爬梯子时还搞笑地掉下来过一次。 本书围绕这次失窃，讲述了许多有关艺术名，尤其是名画失窃的历史、情景、内...
评分蒙克的《呐喊》是世界上最为人们所熟知的艺术品之一，在欧洲挪威也是一个艺术并不是很繁荣的国家，可以说唯一能拿得出手的艺术家，就是蒙克了，就是这样一幅杰作，一个无价之宝，却那么轻易，没有一点技术含量，地被盗走了。两个盗贼，拿了一架梯子，爬上二楼，砸开玻璃，进去...
评分这书不错，不是说多么有深刻含义，也不是说能教育我们如何如何（列位自己理解如何），关键是他有风趣的笔法和巧妙的安排带我们领略了艺术殿堂阴影下虫类们的日子。还有一个我推荐的原因是，翻译不错，以我的经验来看，上世纪九十年代前的作品，好翻译居多，坏的不多，想看什么...
评分听起来很荒唐，博物馆的贵重展品竟然可以称为最容易偷盗的物品之一。有时候抢劫也行。博物馆的安保措施从来很差，保险买的也不足够。即便丢失了展品，由于要耗费太多的时间和金钱，进行太多的谋划，动用太多的人力，很多情况下警方搜寻也不积极。毕竟没有死人，很多展品丢失了...
评分这本书解释了好多艺术犯罪及破案的最基本独特之处。 1. 艺术犯罪的简单。博物馆是公共事业，经费短缺，博物馆保安力量脆弱而业余，况且博物馆的责任不是把价值最高的资产保存好，而是给尽可能多的人看到。在超大型的博物馆，很少人光顾的展室会很容易得手，比如卢浮宫。私人藏...
