The Million Dollar Car Detective by Stayton Bonner
9 out of 10

The demand for classic cars continues to heat up.  Entangled in this marketplace are lovers, enthusiasts, investors, speculators, fraudsters, thieves, attorneys, law enforcement from around the world, detectives, and (apparently) writers.

This book is excellently written and contains a bounty of interesting information surrounding expensive cars.  The main true-crime narrative centers on a 1938 Talbot-Lago T150-C SS Teardrop coupe stolen in 2001.  But, intracately woven throughout is the big-picture context.
