Sandy’s Reviews > The Lost Painting: The Quest for a Caravaggio Masterpiece > Status Update

This is the most unusual nonfiction book I've ever read. It reads like an intellectual's dream mystery novel. The book is filled with wondrous things: exquisite libraries, dusty archives in crumbling Italian palazzos, determined young art historians, an art restorer of baroque paintings and the discovery of a lost Caravaggio masterpiece. And it's all true. The names are the same as the actual protagonists.
