The Between the Lines Book Club reads "The Last Mona Lisa" by Jonathan Santlofer. Books for this Zoom discussion can be picked up at the Dyer-Schererville branch a month prior to the event.
August, 1911: The Mona Lisa is stolen by Vincent Peruggia. Exactly what happens in the two years before its recovery is a mystery. Many replicas of the Mona Lisa exist, and more than one historian has wondered if the painting now in the Louvre is a fake. Present day: Art professor Luke Perrone digs for the truth behind his most famous ancestor: Peruggia. His search attracts an Interpol detective with something to prove, as well as a curiously helpful woman. Soon, Luke tumbles deep into the world of art and forgery, a land of obsession and danger.
