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

In The Art Thief, Michael Finkel brings us into the strange and fascinating world of Stephane Breitwieser, a master thief who carried out over 200 heists. Possessed of a remarkable athleticism and an innate ability to circumvent practically any security system, Breitwieser’s strange talents bred a growing disregard for risk and an addict’s need to score, leading him to ignore his girlfriend’s pleas to stop—until one final act of hubris brought everything crashing down.
