      About This Book

      General Bottando can't believe his rotten luck. He's just been promoted--to a position that's heavy on bureaucratic duties but disturbingly light oil investigative responsibilities. As if that wasn't annoying enough, he's received a distressing tip about a planned raid at a nearby monastery. He's confident his colleague Flavia di Stefano will be able to thwart the plot--but she and her fiance, Jonathan Argyll, are beyond baffled. There's nothing very valuable in the monastery's art collection--except for a supposed Caravaggio that's currently being restored. There are no solid suspects--unless you count the endearing art thief, the flagrantly flamboyant "Rottweiler of Restoration," and the strangely shady icon expert. And there's really no reason to cause an unholy uproar--until someone commits an unconscionable crime...
