"Stéphane Bréitwieser is the most prolific art thief of all time.
He pulled off more than 200 heists, often in crowded museums in broad daylight.
His girlfriend served as his accomplice.
His collection was worth an estimated $2 billion.
He never sold a piece, displaying his stolen art in his attic bedroom.
He felt like a king.
Until everything came to a shocking end.
In this spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius, Michael Finkel gives us one of the most remarkable true-crime narratives of our times, a riveting story of art, theft, love, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost," From publisher.
Copies of these books will be available several weeks before at the Adult Information Desk!
If you need an audio or electronic version, checkout our Digital Library for availability.
All participants are welcome. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have questions about the physical access provided, please email Rachael for assistance in advance of your visit.
