Oh, you've got to hear about this incredible true-crime story! It's a #1 New York Times bestseller, and for good reason. Meet Stéphane Breitwieser, the most prolific art thief of all time. Can you believe he pulled off more than 200 heists? And get this—he often did it in crowded museums, in broad daylight!
His girlfriend was right there with him, serving as his accomplice. Together, they amassed a collection worth an estimated $2 billion. But here's the kicker—he never sold a single piece. Instead, he displayed all that stolen art in his attic bedroom. He felt like a king up there, surrounded by his treasures.
But, as you might guess, everything came to a shocking end. Michael Finkel weaves this spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius, giving us one of the most remarkable true-crime narratives of our time. It's a riveting story of art, theft, love, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost.
The New Yorker calls "The Art Thief" a book with "confidence, élan, and a great sense of timing," and The Wall Street Journal describes it as "enthralling." It's no wonder it's been named one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post, The New Yorker, and Lit Hub.
If you're into stories that keep you on the edge of your seat, this is the one for you. It's a wild ride through the mind of a man who couldn't resist the allure of beauty, no matter the consequences. Don't miss out on this incredible tale!
