Synopsis
General Bottando of Rome's Art Theft Squad believes that a lone criminal mastermind--dubbed "Giotto"--has been stealing priceless Renaissance art for over thirty years. But his theory--prompted by a letter from an embittered, dying old woman--is scorned by archrival Corrado Argan, a bureaucrat more interested in politics than policing.
Bottando's right hand, the beautiful Flavia di Stefano, quickly locates a possible culprit--but he's in England. Since the conniving Argan considers even a trip across town an unnecessary expense for Bottando's squad, Flavia must rely on her fiancé, Jonathan Argyll. In England on business, he finds the suspect suspiciously dead. That's a pity--especially for Jonathan. Were he not on the scene--raving about art thefts and coincidences--the police may have ruled that the deceased had a few too many and tripped on a loose stair. Now, Jonathan's passport has been lifted until Her Majesty's magistrate is satisfied that he has told all he knows...
