Why read it?
1 author picked Old Scores as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
No list about mysteries involving missing art can exclude Aaron Elkins! He is the author of several art history mystery novels revolving around a museum professional searching for artwork lost during World War II. Old Scores is no exception.
