"Riveting.fascinating." - Los Angeles Times "Dolnick.writes with a crisp, breezy style that runs with the speed of thieves purloining stolen canvases." - Donald Harington, Atlanta Journal-Constitution "There has never been a better book on art crime." - Milton Esterow, ArtNews "A big shout-out to Edward Dolnick for The Rescue Artist." - --Geoffrey Jennings, Rainy Day Books, Fairway KS "Outstanding. This is a fascinating tale, expertly told, with characters as crisply-drawn as any Rembrandt, and the sort of intrigue generally found only in a thriller.


" - --Arthur Golden, author of Memoirs of a Geisha "An entertaining account of the eternal struggle between high art and low cunning." - Time magazine "There has never been a better book on art crime." - ArtNews "The Rescue Artist is a masterpiece. Engrossing, entertaining, often surreally hilarious." - --Mary Roach, author of Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers on The Rescue Artist "The narrative's frequent detours to other crimes and engaging escapades.elevate this work above last year's similar The Irish Game." - --Publishers Weekly.
