Perfect for you if...

You're fascinated by real mysteries that remain unsolved, where the culprits might still be alive and the truth genuinely unknowable.
You love the intersection of high art and crime, especially stories about obsessive collectors and the criminals who feed them.
You want a meticulously researched page-turner that reads like a thriller but actually happened.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer crimes that get solved neatly, with justice served and loose ends tied up by the final chapter.
You find art world details tedious or have no interest in museum history and authentication debates.
You're looking for action or violence. This is a cerebral heist about investigation, not a crime spree.
