A footnote to a much larger story but a welcome one' Kirkus Praise for Robert K Wittman: 'A rollicking memoir ... investigative details dazzle ... Priceless can read at times, not unpleasantly, as if an art history textbook got mixed up at the printer with a screenplay for 'The Wire New York Times 'Almost every case he recounts has enough intrigue and suspense for a Hollywood screenplay' Washington Post 'Genius ... riveting ... should be a TV series' Los Angeles Times
