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.
Michael Finkel is a journalist and novelist. The New York Times, Rolling Stone, National Geographic, Esquire, GQ, The Atlantic, and Vanity Fair have all published his work. Real Story, his debut book, was made into a film directed by Brad Pitt and starring James Franco and Jonah Hill.
