Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures by Robert K. Wittman

It's a pretty fun read. I think I picked it up because art thefts fascinate me after watching Leverage. But of course, it's not quite the way it is portrayed on TV, which he points out. Still, his stories about going undercover and recovering these artifacts are pretty amazing.

I'm on a high-end true crime kick and Priceless did what any good non-fiction book should do. It piqued my curiosity enough to want to read more about art crime and, specifically, the theft of a dozen masterpieces from Boston's Isabella Gardner Museum in 1990.

I liked the subject matter of the book and learning about the author's experience working for the FBI.

Overall, very interesting topic. And the growth of the FBI's art finding division was very informative.
One thing I wished was that the author's self importance and bias as not as prominent.

To avoid spoilers, I’ll just say this detective has some very specific ideas about the whereabouts of the Gardner Museum stolen paintings. It was an interesting read, but the writing brought it to 3 stars instead of more. Recommended for an easy “hmm-that’s-interesting” read.
