Book excerpt: What happens when you mix a Parisian street orphan, a hot-tempered Spanish forger, a beautiful American pickpocket, an unloved wife, and one priceless painting? Charming Eduardo de Valfierno leads a comfortable life in Argentina, skillfully duping the nouveau riche with his unique brand of fraud. He offers them theft of priceless art, delivering instead impeccable forgeries. When an unexpected encounter with the enchanting Mrs. Hart pushes him into unfamiliar territory, he returns to the city he once loved but had to abandon–Paris. There, he must assemble his team for their greatest and most audacious heist yet: the Mona Lisa. This riveting narrative takes you deep into the heart of early 20th century Paris, its art world, and the legendary Louvre Museum. As the plot thickens with a team member disappearing and Mr. Hart's shadow looming in Paris, the crew must navigate unforeseen challenges and their own vulnerabilities to stay ahead. Inspired by the real-life theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911, Stealing Mona Lisa captures the imagination with a blend of historical truth, mystery, and heart-stopping suspense that will leave you guessing till the very end.
