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
我非常喜欢这本书的前半部分，特别是讲到艺术犯罪的操作方式和这个领域发生的奇闻异事的部分，初读起来既新奇又有趣，是一个对大千世界广度爱好者来说的全新视口。叙述的结构大致是以《呐喊》这幅超级名画在挪威失窃继而被希尔等探员追回为主线，当中不断穿插跟艺术犯罪有关的...
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...
评分读罢此书总算明白了，偷画贼并不像电影里那么潇洒、高智商，他们也是普通人，甚至很笨。大多数贼并不懂得名画的价值，因此，很多名画被盗后没有好好保存，垃圾箱，洗衣机后面...甚至被撕毁或者扔到河里，各种可能都有。在偷画贼眼中，如果名画卖不出手，就毁掉它，这样至少不...
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...
