This half-hearted attempt at a spy caper feeds heavily upon the actual case as well as borrowing generously from Le Carre's work--though without any of the former's excitement.

Among the astonishing facts he uncovered is that most art thefts are pulled off with as little difficulty as the Caravaggio caper in Palermo. In Italy alone, 44,000 works of art disappear each year. Indeed, during Watson's dogged investigation, enough masterpieces were purloined from churches, galleries and private homes to furnish a museum. The odds on retrieving the Caravaggio were minuscule. In Italy, only 10% of recorded stolen...
