Yes, Hoving solved the world's problems on his own and rewrote art history single handedly, but gosh he wrote well! I read Hoving's book King of the Confessors (about the cross of Bury St Edmunds) way back in 1991 and loved it. thanks for the reference.

Watson set himself up as an art dealer to search out stolen paintings, so it's a bit cloak-and-dagger, international travel, mission impossible - but all true!
