Reviews
"This is an absorbing and astonishing portrait of a fascinating and complicated character--a riveting story of obsession and misplaced brilliance." -Kirk Wallace Johnson, best-selling author of The Feather Thief and The Fishermen and the Dragon "The tale of a strong candidate for the title of 'most prolific art thief ever....' Finkel's play-by-play of each theft has the pacing and atmosphere of a good suspense tale....The author describes each acquisition as well as Breitwieser's simple but effective methods....Finkel's extensive research, survey of art history, and hours of interviews with his subject combine for a compelling read." -- Kirkus, "It is romantic to liken art thieves to Pierce Brosnan's glamorous character in The Thomas Crown Affair. The reality is far less charming. Case in point: Stéphane Breitwieser, one of the most successful art thieves of all time. From roughly 1994 to 2001, Breitwieser executed more than 200 heists. The book's first lesson? Europe has a lot of understaffed historic buildings. The second? Even a kleptomaniac with delusions of grandeur can be made mildly sympathetic in the hands of a skilled writer." --Bloomberg "This is an absorbing and astonishing portrait of a fascinating and complicated character--a riveting story of obsession and misplaced brilliance." --Kirk Wallace Johnson, best-selling author of The Feather Thief and The Fishermen and the Dragon "In this masterful true crime account, Finkel traces the fascinating exploits of Stéphane Breitwieser, a French art thief who stole more than 200 artworks...turning his mother's attic into a glittering trove of oil paintings, silver vessels, and antique weaponry....Drawing on art theory and Breitwieser's psychology reports, Finkel speculates on his subject's addiction to beauty....It's a riveting ride." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "The tale of a strong candidate for the title of 'most prolific art thief ever....' Finkel's play-by-play of each theft has the pacing and atmosphere of a good suspense tale....The author describes each acquisition as well as Breitwieser's simple but effective methods....Finkel's extensive research, survey of art history, and hours of interviews with his subject combine for a compelling read." --Kirkus "From the opening chapter, Finkel's tight prose heightens the drama of each theft, as Breitweiser and his girlfriend Anne-Catherine Kleinklaus, who serves as his lookout, enter Belgium's Rubens House amid visitors and guards....A fascinating read. Finkel will have art history and true crime lovers obsessively turning the pages of this suspenseful, smartly written work until its shocking conclusion." --Library Journal
