The third book in this graphic nonfiction series about real FBI cases details the Isabella Stewart Gardner heist – the largest, and one of the most famous, art thefts in the world.
CASE NO. 003: THE GARDNER
MARCH 18, 1990
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS
1:24 a.m.
Two thieves posing as Boston Police officers gain entry to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Once inside, they steal thirteen pieces of art, including several rare Rembrandts.
Eighty-one minutes later, these men walk off with $500 million worth of art. This heist is the single largest private property theft in the United States – and despite decades of investigation and dozens of false leads, the case remains unsolved to this day.
