Stealing Mona Lisa by Carson MortonRead about another novel on the list.
Carson Morton’s Stealing Mona Lisa—a cozy caper about an unlikely group of con artists in the early 20th century. Morton uses the very real theft of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre in 1911 as the launching point of his delightful fiction. Using both real historical figures (the poet Guillaume Apollinaire, for one, makes a cameo), Morton takes us from Buenos Aires to New England to Paris in pursuit of riches, justice, and fun.
Stealing Mona Lisa is among Nzinga Temu's ight action-packed novels about art heists and Carol Orange's seven top art heist novels.
