Rachlin's true tales, continued...

Having enjoyed Harvey Rachlin's other books about the stories behind historical figures and artifacts, I was anxious to get into his latest--about intrigues involving the world's art masterpieces. I was not disappointed. Rachlin is a tireless collector of historical curiosities, and he has a true storyteller's knack for ferreting out the most intriguing true tales and turning them into narratives that keep you reading. If you like art, history, mysteries, and you love a good story, check out Scandals, Vandals, and Da Vincis.
