description: Thomas McShane is one of the world’s foremost authorities on the art theft business. Here, he presents a unique memoir that gives readers a thrilling ride through the underworld of stolen art and historical artefacts. For 36 years, McShane masked his colorful alter egos in various disguises and chased down $900 million worth of stolen art pieces. From Rembrants taken from the Leon Bonnat Museum in Bayonne, France, to van Goghs snatched from the Armand Hammer Galleries across from Trump Plaza in Manhattan, McShane always brought these world treasures back to their rightful owners.
