Michael Tobias: Jan & Catharina

The theft of a Vermeer painting from a Boston museum sends a reluctant FBI detective on parallel journeys through modern Europe and seventeenth-century Delft. A contemporary mystery, a love story spanning three centuries, and an intimate biography of the great painter Jan Vermeer and his beloved wife Catharina are ingeniously blended in this illustrated novella, with photographs by Rocky Schenck and details of paintings by Vermeer.
