Noah Charney's debut novel kicks off with three thefts in three European cities. Priceless works of art disappear in London, Paris and Rome, leaving investigators with nary a clue.

As the investigation unfolds, the seemingly-unconnected crimes may be part of a greater conspiracy. Art history buffs and anyone who loves a good heist will find themselves wrapped up in the intrigue.

Electrum Magazine called it "a vividly narrated story about a series of crimes involving famous masterworks in a money-and-ego driven market, a noir but plausible world of art where things are not what they seem behind the glam and glitter."

Simon Vance, with a voice made for mystery, narrates the audio book of "The Art Thief." He's a familiar voice for audio book fans; He previously narrated "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series.
