After The Greatest Templar Tale Never Told
The Map Thief by Michael Blanding
If you loved Wolter's evidence-first detective work and maverick takedown of academic gatekeepers, The Map Thief delivers the same forensic thrill: methodical provenance hunts, rare-cartography obsession, and a spectacular insider betrayal in the cloistered map trade. Blanding builds his case one artifact at a time—grounded conspiracy, sensory archival detail, and a smoking-gun payoff that never asks you to abandon your need for documented proof.
