Book Giveaway: The Crimes of Paris

The Crimes of Paris: A True Story of Murder, Theft, and Detection
(c) 2009
Pub. Little Brown
384p

Turn-of-the-century Paris was the beating heart of a rapidly changing world. Painters, scientists, revolutionaries, poets--all were there. But so, too, were the shadows: Paris was a violent, criminal place, its sinister alleyways the haunts of Apache gangsters and its cafes the gathering places of murderous anarchists. In 1911, it fell victim to perhaps the greatest theft of all time--the taking of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre. Immediately, Alphonse Bertillon, a detective world-renowned for pioneering crime-scene investigation techniques, was called upon to solve the crime. And quickly the Paris police had a suspect: a young Spanish artist named Pablo Picasso....

Wow at first I thought Mr. Anonymous REALLY REALLY wanted the book... Good thing all we have to do is show you we would like it because not sure I could compete with the length of his...

nfmgirl 4/02/2009 7:41 PM  

I think Anon was going for the record for the longest rambling Spam in blog history.

I'd love this book. Please count me in. Thank you!

Since anonymous didn't leave an email, does that mean you get to delete him. I mean your rules clearly state you must have an @ in your response. :)
This book sounds really intriguing. I hope I win.

I enjoy historical stories or historical fiction. I am currently reading Devil in the White City about Chicago during the building of the 1893 World's Fair and the crimes of the time. I would love to read this book also.
