The book describes how Robert Wittman went undercover to rescue the world's stolen treasures. It was mentioned several times and was described as an insightful read about the world of art crime.
I was surprised actually to read that Art Crime is a $6 billion dollar a year industry.
I thought it was interesting in the book, you mentioned that these guys are not in it because they love art.
I read in your book that thieves, and this was, it made me like cringe so hard. Often thieves destroy the art if they know they're being investigated. So your prime directive is to get the art and getting the thief as a bonus.
I read in your book that you have to see the good in your target. Otherwise, you'll just see the people who stole the art as evil and that inhibits you in your undercover work.
You mentioned something that I thought was actually quite genius in the book. And I'm not sure if I'm reading into this too much, but you call this the decoy, where you find a bond with the target that doesn't have anything to do with the case at hand.
