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>

这书不错，不是说多么有深刻含义，也不是说能教育我们如何如何（列位自己理解如何），关键是他有风趣的笔法和巧妙的安排带我们领略了艺术殿堂阴影下虫类们的日子。还有一个我推荐的原因是，翻译不错，以我的经验来看，上世纪九十年代前的作品，好翻译居多，坏的不多，想看什么...

評分如果再有一位性感的美女 一部漂亮的电影需要的元素就齐了 原来蒙克的《呐喊》有四幅 原来1994丢失的那幅被面是草稿 原来右下角有烛泪 原来脸部还有修改过 知道了很多源于艺术品的趣闻 还有很多犯罪心理学方面的东西 很好的纪实小说
評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...
評分有趣的一本书，在光合作用发现的。 捉襟见肘的办案经费，一个一脸憨厚的卧底警察，一群其实是粗人而非怪盗基德的艺术品盗窃犯……纪实文学，却比故事好看。
