Chapter 6 Summary: “The Scene of the Crime”

Florian and Margaret decide not to say anything about the copyist. Instead, they focus on the first day of school. This year, Florian is more optimistic because he has Margaret to help him navigate the challenges of the school day. Before school starts, however, his dad’s phone rings at two in the morning. Three paintings have been stolen from the National Gallery. Florian tells his father about the copyist in Gallery 85, the impressionism section. His father takes Florian to the museum, where they learn that a Renoir, a Degas, and a Van Gogh painting are missing. In the underground security center, there is a British insurance agent named Oliver Hobbes on the phone. Earl, a security worker, is looking over the data at the computer. Serena Miller, the director of museum security and a friend of Florian’s parents, arrives with a man from the FBI, Special Agent Marcus Rivers of the art crime team. Everyone is curious to know why Florian is there. When Florian gives them information about the man who changed his identity, Hobbes impatiently dismisses Florian, but the FBI agent is intrigued.
