How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures
Priceless

A lecture and book signing with Robert K. Wittman.

The creator and former leader of the FBI's Art Crime Team-a man whose legendary undercover work led to the recovery of $225 million worth of stolen art-reveals the astonishing stories behind his remarkable accomplishments.

Armed with a scholar's passion, a con man's smile, and a daredevil's nerves, Robert Wittman pulled off awe-inspiring undercover stings all over the world, rescuing hundreds of stolen works-among them paintings by Rembrandt, Renoir, and Rockwell; Geronimo's headdress; and an original copy of the Bill of Rights.

In a riveting, suspenseful narrative that makes clear why Wittman has been called "a living legend" by the Wall Street Journal and "the most famous art detective in the world" by the Times of London, Priceless pulls back the curtain on this extraordinary career and reveals for the first time Wittman's pusuit of the criminals who pulled off the worlds greatest art theft. www.robertwittmaninc.com
