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
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...
评分“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...
评分这本书我的评价是较差，但这个较差不是针对原著作者，因为他写的书究竟怎样其实我不知道，可以肯定的是翻译已经让这本书面目全非。 我看到评分很多人给四颗星，对此我感到十分困惑。 首先这本书的中文译名叫作《是名画总会被偷的》，然而这本书的前几章，乃至全书的一大半内...
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...
评分从此书可以学习到，欧洲的博物馆、艺术馆之类的保安设备很落后，但是人家很实在，展出的都是真东西！所以才有这么搞笑的偷盗史…… 所以还是应该向中国的博物馆学习啊！上海博物馆里全是复制品，一般没有谁会去偷只有10岁年龄的尿壶的吧……
