Jonathan Argyll, art historian/lecturer and Flavia di Stefano, his wife and unconfirmed head of Italy's stolen art squad, find themselves faced with problems arising from the theft of a valuable picture. This the Italian prime minister had planned to make his country's central exhibit at a show put on to mark Italy's presidency of the European Union. Paying a ransom to recover the picture would be illegal. I found it entertaining light reading.
