Requests:  5 Summary:  "The true story of the world's most prolific art thief--a spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius, from the bestselling author of The Stranger in the Woods. 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. Carrying out more than two hundred heists over nearly ten years--in museums and cathedrals all over Europe--Breitwieser, along with his girlfriend who worked as his lookout, stole more than three hundred objects, until it all fell apart in spectacular fashion. In The Art Thief, Michael Finkel brings us into Breitwieser's strange and fascinating world. Unlike most thieves, he never stole for money, keeping all his treasures in a single room where he could admire them to his heart's content. Possessed of a remarkable athleticism and an innate ability to assess practically any security system, Breitwieser managed to pull off a breathtaking number of audacious thefts. Yet these strange talents bred a growing disregard for risk and an addict's need to score, leading Breitwieser to ignore his girlfriend's pleas to stop--until one final act of hubris brought everything crashing down. This is a riveting story of art, crime, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy LT 364.16287 Breitwieser Fi Checked out 07/09/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Large Type LT 364.16287 Breitwieser Fi Checked out 07/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Large Type LT 364.16287 Breitwieser Fi Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Large Type LT 364.16287 Breitwieser Fi Checked out 07/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Fiction LT 364.16287 Breitwieser Fi Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Large Type LT B Breitwieser Fi Checked out 07/05/2024 Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Bookmobile Large Type LT 364.16287 Breitwieser Fi Checked out 06/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList           Add Copy to MyList
