Read a sample Read a sample

Money. Diamonds. Rembrandts. The allure of snatching millions—and getting away with it—is often more intoxicating than actually possessing the loot. For some, the art of the steal is the ultimate high. History is filled with tales of audacious heists and robberies. But here’s the fascinating part: Instead of applauding bad guys getting busted, we, the public, revel in the most sordid of details. How'd they do it? What’d they take? Where’d they go wrong? We know stealing is wrong. Yet, again and again, we are fascinated by a great heist. We binge on true crime—fact, fiction and everything in between. In this book, we go beyond the glitz to examine robberies that have captivated the public for decades. The truth is often more gripping than the fantasy—and indulging a quest to learn about both is certainly no crime.
