A fascinating and fast-paced Bonnie-and-Clyde story. Master rationalizer, art lover, and compulsive thief Breitwieser and his longtime girlfriend and accomplice Anne-Christine stole priceless art from European museums at a staggering rate until finally caught, and caught again. The author established access to Breitwieser and key people in the case that allows him to round out some of the drama and psychological aspects that make this such a compelling read. He also (though not until the author's note) draws a comparison between Breitwieser and the only other class of thieves that seems to fit — book thieves, or bibliomaniacs, like Stephen Blumberg.
