Harvey’s earlier book, “The Island of Lost Maps: A True Story of Cartographic Crime,” explores a curious crime spree: the theft of scores of valuable centuries-old maps from some of the most prominent research libraries in the United States and Canada. A national and international bestseller, it was selected by USA Today as one of the top ten books of 2000.
