The Rescue Artist A True Story Of Art Thieves And The Hunt For A Missing Masterpiece Edward Dolnick by Edward Dolnick instant download after payment.

The little-known world of art theft is
compellingly portrayed in Dolnick's account of the 1994 theft and
recovery of Edvard Munch's iconic painting The Scream.
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 The Scream, 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.
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 The Scream 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.
