"Legendary undercover FBI agent Thomas McShane is one of the world's
foremost authorities on the billion-dollar art theft business. Here, he
presents a unique memoir that gives readers a thrilling ride through the
underworld of stolen art and historical artifacts. For thirty-six years,
Special Agent McShane masked his colorful alter egos in various disguises
and chased down $900 million worth of purloined art pieces. Along the way,
he matched wits with some of the most devious criminal masterminds if the 20
th and 21 st centuries. From Rembrants taken from the Leon Bonnat Museum in
Bayonne, France, to Van Goghs snatched from the Armand Hammer Galleries
across from Trump Plaza in Manhattan, McShane always brought these world
treasures back to their rightful owners. His expertise and indefatigable
determination prompted FBI Director William H. Webster to name McShane as
the Senior Investigator of the FBI's expanding Art Squad.
Written with veteran true crime author Dary Matera, this captivating account
is as engaging as it is informative".
