The Last Mona Lisa by Jonathan Santlofer

 This looked interesting because it was based on some real facts and. well, it was the Mona Lisa.  However there is a whole lot of fiction happening in an attempt to connect the fact dots.  Luke Perrone is an art history professor who decides to spend a summer in Italy researching his grandfather - the man accused of stealing the Mona Lisa in 1914. It turns out that in the world of rare art dealing, a lot of other people are interested in what he may find.  People are murdered, people fall in love, forgeries seem to be everywhere,  - it's a mystery.  Is the painting hanging in the Louvre the real DaVinci painting?  Maybe - maybe not.
