Stealing Europe (True Crime) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

They didn't steal for money. They stole for love-and obsession.

At twenty-four, Andi lives in his mother's attic, dreaming of beauty and greatness while drowning in anonymity. With his girlfriend Kim by his side, he embarks on a daring spree of art theft across Europe-slipping into understaffed museums, vanishing relics and paintings during guard breaks, and hiding their trophies in the most unlikely of galleries: their cramped attic bedroom.

What begins as small-town heists quickly spirals into an international crime wave. From French chapels to Swiss galleries and German auction houses, their exploits leave a trail of vanished masterpieces-over 300 works worth billions. But unlike ordinary thieves, they never sell a single piece. For Andi and Kim, possession is everything.

As paranoia tightens its grip and the stakes rise, the couple's obsession pushes them past the point of return. Betrayal, capture, and devastating loss follow-but not even prison can extinguish Andi's hunger to steal beauty for himself.

Based on a shocking true story, Stealing Europe is a gripping tale of romance, obsession, and cultural devastation-revealing just how far some will go when love and art collide.
