(4) YA After a Seattle art heist, sixteen-year-old Violet and her artist father are embroiled in the mystery of the powerful Yamada family's long-ago-hidden van Gogh painting; soon they're off to Tokyo. Renn's authorial missteps include a too-young-sounding narrator, credulity stretching, and awkward dialogue, but with a super-cool premise, rich settings, yakuza (Japanese gangsters), and hip art-world details, some readers won't mind.
