In this spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius, Michael Finkel gives us a remarkable true-crime story of art, theft, love and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost.

Stéphane Bréitwieser is the most prolific art thief of all time.

He pulled off more than 200 heists, often in crowded museums in broad daylight.

His girlfriend served as his accomplice.

His collection was worth an estimated $2 billion.

He never sold a piece, displaying his stolen art in his attic bedroom.

He felt like a king.

Until everything came to a shocking end.
