From the inside cover: "In Paris at the start of a radically new century, the most famous face in the history of art stepped out of her frame and into a sensational mystery.
On August 21, 1911, the unfathomable happened - Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa vanished from the Louvre. More than twenty-four hours passed before museum officials realized she was gone. The prime suspects were as shocking as the crime. Pablo Picazo and Guillaume Apollinaire, young provocateurs of a new art. As French detectives using the latest methods of ciminology, including fingerprinting, tried to trace the thieves, a burgeoning international media hyped news of the theft."
Bruce says, "I'm a big R.A. Scotti fan. I've read three of Scotti's books and thoroughly enjoyed them all. VANISHED SMILE is a delicious tale of intrigue, history, art and detail. I recommend VANISHED SMILE to anyone regardless of your preferred genera in literature."
