Reviews

Overall, the book provides a kaleidoscopic vision of what we know as Art Crime, offering a balanced combination of theory and practice, using both current and historic cases. (...) This book has given us a new insight into the thinking of those who use their intellectual and professional capacity to try to keep the dark side at bay. Like the previous volumes [in the series], this new book is essential reading. Ignacio Rodriguez-Temino, AP: Online Journal in Public Archaeology 5 (2015), pp. 203-205.
