   "In this spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius,     
   the best-selling author of The Stranger in the Woods brings us     
   into Breitwieser's strange world-unlike most thieves, he never     
   stole for money, keeping all his treasures in a pair of secret     
   rooms where he could admire them.   
      
   "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 St‚phane Breitwieser.   
   Carrying out more than two hundred heists over nearly eight   
   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. Possessed of a remarkable   
   athleticism and an innate ability to circumvent 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, love, and an   
   insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost.
