Summary:
Art theft is one of the most profitable criminal enterprises in the world, exceeding $6 billion in losses to galleries and art collectors annually. This book reveals the actors behind the major art heists of Rembrandt in the last century. Through thefts around the world ... the authors track daring entries into and escapes from the world's most renowned museums ... and robbers who coolly walk off with multimillion dollar paintings.
