A hundred pages on why the Mona Lisa in the Lourve, though by Leonardo da Vinci's hand, is in fact not the true Mona Lisa, but another woman entirely and unknown to the world at large. In parts the text reads like a detective story but it adds up to a serious guided tour ending in the rediscovery of the true Mona Lisa. Hard to find title.
