THE ART THIEF by Michael Finkel

For centuries, works of art have been stolen in countless ways from all over the world, but no one has been quite as successful at it as the master thief Stéphane Breitwieser. He carried out more than two hundred heists over nearly eight years in museums and cathedrals all over Europe, until it all fell apart in spectacular fashion.
