商品簡介
The Gentlemen of Shadows: Inside the Minds of the World's Most Daring Thieves
By Gregg Benzon
Step into the hidden world of elegance, deception, and audacity.
From the man who carried the Mona Lisa out of the Louvre, to the sacristan who left the Ghent Altarpiece forever incomplete, to the modern jewel gangs who shook Europe's vaults-The Gentlemen of Shadows brings together thirty unforgettable stories of history's most extraordinary thieves.
Gregg Benzon takes readers behind the headlines and into the minds of criminals who refused to see themselves as common burglars. They were showmen, tricksters, connoisseurs of risk. Some, like Adam Worth or Arthur Barry, cultivated an image of charm and respectability. Others, like St廧hane Breitwieser, stole out of passion rather than profit. And some, like Jack Roland Murphy, revealed the darker edge of charisma gone astray.
Across centuries and continents, their heists reveal the fragility of the treasures we prize most-and the peculiar fascination we feel for those who dare to steal them.
Inside these pages, you will discover:
- How a simple handyman outwitted the Louvre and shocked the world.
- The unsolved mystery of the missing panel from the Ghent Altarpiece.
- The real-life figures who inspired legends like Ars鋝e Lupin.
- Modern-day heists that prove gentleman thieves are not relics of the past.
Part true crime, part cultural history, and part psychological portrait, The Gentlemen of Shadows is a journey into the shadows where elegance and audacity collide.
For fans of true crime, art history, and tales of impossible heists, this book offers a spellbinding look at thirty lives lived on the edge of law and legend.
