Staff Pick

By Ulrich Boser
Shortly after midnight on March 18, 1990, two men broke into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and stole priceless masterworks by Vermeer, Rembrandt and Degas. The author, a crime writer, inherited the case files from a leading fine arts claims adjuster, Harold Smith, upon his death. Hundreds of interviews with suspects linked to the Boston mob, the FBI and the Irish Republican Party have offered tantalizing clues but little solid evidence. Although the Gardner Museum is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to the safe return of the paintings, the greatest art theft in history remains unsolved.
