Best-selling author Daniel Silva has crafted an entertaining new spy thriller based on the world's most shocking art heists. "The Rembrandt Affair" portrays art crime---a lucrative underground activity resulting in losses of at least $6 billion annually, according to the FBI---set against the backdrop of Iran seeking nuclear weapons.
The tale spins around an "endearingly eccentric London art dealer," a murdered art restorer, a shady Swiss billionaire, and a spy on a quest to unravel the deadly secrets behind a painting.
