Snippet:
The first of the rare books went missing just before the Coronavirus pandemic: two centuries-old Chinese manuscripts, borrowed by a visitor using the name Alan Fujimori, from the rare books collection of the University of California, Los Angeles. Four years later, six more were requested, this time checked out by a Jason Wang.
