In 1990, two thieves made their way into Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and fled with 13 art works, worth $500 million. Despite the FBI's ongoing investigation, the thieves were never caught, and the art remains missing.
Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Globe investigative reporter Stephen Kurkjian worked on the story when it first broke, and in his fast-paced debut book, he recounts the heist, the official investigation and his own probing into the case.
