Title: Great subject matter, poor execution
Product review: I hate to pile on, but I have to agree that what sounds like a very interesting book about art theft and recovery is completely undercut by the poor writing and editing. I normally don't give up on books, but I bailed on this one after the second chapter. Way too hackneyed with its attempts at being "hard boiled" and introducing "ironies" that were not particularly ironic. I hope McShane gets a second chance to write this, but with better guidance from an editor and publisher.
