The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession

One of the most remarkable true-crime narratives of the twenty-first century: the story of the world’s most prolific art thief, Stéphane Breitwieser, who managed to pull off a breathtaking number of audacious thefts.

A spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius, The Art Thief is a riveting tale of art, crime, love, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost.

"The level of detail Finkel is able to provide, thanks to extensive reporting and hours of interviews with Breitwieser himself, is uncomfortably gripping, as if the reader is watching these events unfold and working as an accomplice to the French robber’s crimes.” -- Associated Press
