'The Black Madonna' by Davis Bunn

The Black Madonna by Davis Bunn (formerly known by his readers as T. Davis Bunn) is the continuing saga of art dealer Storm Syrrell. It's full of international travel, deception and adventure, and Bunn tells a story well. This is escapist reading, and the story quickly draws in the reader.

I could easily see this book in movie form---and the story of the Black Madonna of Czestochowa in Poland, which he centers the story around, is even more of a draw since it's an actual painting (available to view on Wikipedia). Reading about history interwoven into fiction is always appealing to me, and I'll look forward to follow-up books in this series.
