I recently had the honor of appearing on A Word On Words with John Seigenthaler on National Public Television.  The first clip is the full 21 minute version, the second is just the ending. I always end my readings/talks with a song and this time was no different!

What could be more lucrative than stealing Da Vinci’s masterpiece Mona Lisa from the Louvre Museum and selling it to an American Robber Baron? How about stealing it and selling six exact copies to six American Robber Barons?

"Carson Morton is, quite frankly, a masterful storyteller.”
 --New York Journal of Books
"An intriguing and captivating story about a great scam with a twist in the world of con artists, art forgery and mystery."
--Frank W. Abagnale, New York Times bestselling author of Catch Me If You Can
"Morton excels at mixing fact, fiction, and conjecture in this entertaining art caper."
--Mystery Scene Magazine
Stealing Mona Lisa is a quick read, an enjoyable caper mystery. It is to novels what Ocean’s 11 is to films. If you’re looking for an easy-going adventure, I highly recommend it.
--HERSTORY
If you enjoy a good mystery... you will enjoy this novel. It’s a good one!
