The author of The Icon Hunter comes to DC on Wed., Apr. 19th, at 6:30PM.
In this powerful memoir, Tasoula Hadjitofi reveals her perilous journey orchestrating “The Munich Case” ― one of the largest European art trafficking stings since WWII. With the Bavarian police in place, the Cypriots on their way, 70 under-cover agents bust into the Munich apartment of a notorious Turkish smuggler suspected of holding looted antiquities. Tasoula places everything on the line to repatriate her country’s sacred treasures, unaware that treachery lies in the shadow of her success.
The author will be in conversation with Kathy Barrett.
