Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sandy Nairne was the Tate's director of programmes when, in 1994, two prize Turners were stolen while on loan in Frankfurt.
This book of two halves begins with a riveting, edge-of-seat chronicle of the eight years of subtle sleuthing and wrangling that led to the paintings' recovery.
As he engages with undercover policemen, top financiers and Serbian crime lords (via seedy lawyers), this is a fabulously involving tale.
The second part, drier but shrewd, shores up Nairne's scholarly credentials with a survey of art-theft as fact and myth.
