For fans of art crime, art history, astronomy, and puzzles, Michelangelo's Puzzle expands on Rebecca's article published in Journal of Art Crime (2019), in which she argued that the Vatican's Laocoön Group was created by Michelangelo as a forged antiquity. Drawing on the traditional link between Laocoön and the constellation of Ophiuchus, Michelangelo was able to depict the famous sculpture within the context of a hidden star map on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. The foreword has been written by Noah Charney, founder of the Association for Research into Crimes against Art (ARCA). This book is unique as it has been written by a professional artist who combines creative insight with rigorous research.
