Janice Mason Art Museum: Art Book Club: "The Art Thief" by Noah Charney
2026-04-06 18:00 - 20:00 | Janice Mason Art Museum, 71 Main Street, Cadiz, KY, 42211, United States
The next meeting of the JMAM ART BOOK CLUB will be Monday, April 6, 2026 at 6 pm in the lobby of the Janice Mason Art Museum.
We will discuss “The Art Thief” by Noah Charney (the entire book).
The JMAM Book Club meets quarterly.
Anyone that is interested is welcome to join us!
*****
From Amazon: “In The Art Thief, three thefts are simultaneously investigated in three cities, but these apparently isolated crimes have much more in common than anyone imagines.
In Rome, the police enlist the help of renowned art investigator Gabriel Coffin when tracking down the stolen masterpiece.
In Paris, Geneviéve Delacloche is aided by Police Inspector Jean-Jacques Bizot, who finds a trail of bizarre clues and puzzles that leads him ever deeper into a baffling conspiracy.
In London, Inspector Harry Wickenden of Scotland Yard oversees the museum’s attempts to ransom back its stolen painting, only to have the masterpiece’s recovery deepen the mystery even further.
A dizzying array of forgeries, overpaintings, and double-crosses unfolds as the story races through auction houses, museums, and private galleries — and the secret places where priceless works of art are made available to collectors who will stop at nothing to satisfy their hearts’ desires.
Full of fascinating art-historical detail, crackling dialogue, and a brain-teasing plot, Noah Charney’s debut novel is a sophisticated, stylish thriller, as irresistible and multifaceted as a great work of art.”
