The Art Thief: A Story of Love, Crime, and A Dangerous Obsession by Michael Finkel
Who was master thief Stéphane Breitwieser? In this book, we’ll dive into the strange and fascinating life of the man who stole more than three hundred artworks from museums and cathedrals across Europe. Driven by obsession, over-confidence, and a reckless disregard for risk, Breitwieser’s crimes eventually led to his downfall. As we read The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession by Michael Finkel, we’ll ask the big question: was it all worth it?
