In 1911 Paris, Detective Alphonse Bertillon, renowned for pioneering crime-scene investigation techniques, is called upon to solve one of the most notorious crimes to hit the city: the theft of the "Mona Lisa" from the Louvre. The Hooblers present the true story of that case.

Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler have written numerous books together, including The Monsters: Mary Shelley and the Curse of Frankenstein and the Edgar Award-winning In Darkness, Death. They are married and live in New York City.
