I know that there is some mystery book that takes place at the Isabella Stuart
Gardner Museum in Boston.  I am sorry I do not know the exact name and title,
but the author hails from Lincoln, MA.  I know that this is incomplete
information, but I  hope it helps in some way.
Good luck,
Sandra Rothenberg
