EBOOK
About
She came to Rome to write about stolen art. She didn't expect to be pulled into the theft.
Journalist Claire Crespi's research into looted antiquities leads her from a tomb robbers' hillside outside Cerveteri to the office of a Carabinieri captain who can't decide if she's a source or a suspect. But when a smuggled Etruscan goddess, a vanished Renaissance tapestry, and the era's most audacious art heist all begin to converge, Claire finds she's no longer chasing a story-she's chasing men who kill to keep their secrets buried.
Blindfolded car rides. A don who trades in stolen beauty. A dealer called Medici who believes in fate more than he believes in money. In Smuggled, Frances Vieta weaves a glittering, dangerous tour of Italy's underground art world-and one woman's discovery that some treasures are worth the risk.
