For Morley Lake, unraveling an art heist bigger than the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum looting began with a stolen Warhol print—Red Mao. Mao’s owner, Herbert Wu, was gruesomely sliced to death by the thief who took the Warhol but left paintings by Renoir, Monet, Modigliani, Richter, and Hopper. Why? Why kill him? Why not take the good stuff? Instead, the thief stole four other Warhols from four other condos in Wu’s building. Warhols are nice, but c’mon. To Lake, the investigator for the company that insured Wu’s art, it smelled.
Full of scheming, manipulation, and slight-of-hand, Five Warhols is a story of privileged-class thievery. These people feel they’re so far above the law, it’s a game with no consequences. After all, the police are merely 9-to-5ers. Ah, but they weren’t counting on Lake who’s downright relentless.
