...investigation that steers Italy's Art Squad to a Geneva warehouse filled with looted national treasures. The warehouse's owner? Giacomo Medici, Italy's most nefarious art dealer. With one of the book's main players, Marion True, the J. Paul Getty Museum's former antiquities curator, on trial for conspiring to purchase stolen antiquities, and Medici challenging a 1995 Rome conviction that sentenced him to 10 years in prison, even the timing of this book is a work of art. - By Anthee Carassava 9.
