具体描述
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
几年前在人大听一堂大课，课上了一半，几个修理工模样的人鱼贯而入。 他们很有礼貌地对教授说道：“你们继续，我们只是把前几天坏掉投影仪给拆下来修理。” 于是，教授讲他的，我们听我们的，修理工拆他们的。 后来他们拆完了，仍旧很有礼貌地向教授道歉，因为拆卸过程似乎打...
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...
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...
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
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...
