Críticas:
"Boser has produced a captivating portrait of the world's biggest unsolved art theft." -- Wall Street Journal "A vivid portrait of the high-stakes world of art crime." -- Associated Press "Ulrich Boser presents his solution to the [Gardner] mystery." -- Washington Post "Boser cracks the cold case of the art world's greatest unsolved mystery." -- Vanity Fair "In The Gardner Heist, author Ulrich Boser offers a tantalizing whodunit as he embarks on an exhaustive search for the stolen masterpieces." -- Boston Globe "The book is a thrill." -- The Guardian "Now we read this. It looks like the largest theft since the Devil Rays took what should have been the Red Sox's 2008 American League championship. I don't know if those paintings ended up on eBay, but I do know they're not on my walls." -- Senator John Kerry "Boser's rousing account of his years spent collecting clues large and small is entertaining enough to make readers almost forget that, after 18 years, the paintings have still not been found." -- Publishers Weekly "Boser poetically contrasts the burning, almost unnatural desire art lovers feel for paintings with the cold reality that art theft is one of the easiest and most lucrative types of crime." -- Kirkus Reviews "Artfully done... Grade: A Minus." -- Boston Herald "Boser's book on it has the feel of a speedy ride down a mountain road spiked with hairpin turns. -- Christian Science Monitor
Reseña del editor:
Shortly after midnight on March 18, 1990, two men broke into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and committed the largest art heist in history. They stole a dozen masterpieces, including one Vermeer, three Rembrandts, and five Degas. But after thousands of leads, hundreds of interviews, and a $5 million reward, not a single painting has been recovered. Worth as much as $500 million, the missing masterpieces have become the Holy Grail of the art world and their theft one of the nation's most extraordinary unsolved mysteries. Art detective Harold Smith worked the theft for years, and after his death, reporter Ulrich Boser decided to pick up where he left off. Traveling deep into the art underworld, Boser explores Smith's unfinished leads and comes across a remarkable cast of characters, including a brilliant rock 'n' roll art thief and a golden-boy gangster who professes his innocence in rhyming verse. A tale of art and greed, of obsession and loss, "The Gardner Heist" is as compelling as the stolen masterpieces themselves.
