Summary:
"...Focusing on six thefts but filled with countless stories that span the late 1970s through the 21st Century,
John
opens the files on thefts, shows how museum personnel along with local and sometimes Federal Agents opened investigations and more often than not caught the thief. But of ultimate importance was the recovery of the artwork, including Celtic and Egyptian gold, French tapestries, Greek sculpture, and more. At the heart of this book there will always be art - those who love it and those who take it, two groups of people that are far from mutually exclusive."
