A renowned former undercover FBI agent recounts how he recaptured numerous valuable works of art that were stolen from famous museums, governments, and millionaire collectors, a career during which he matched wits with some of the most notorious criminals of his time.
Legendary FBI undercover agent Thomas McShane, "one of the world's foremost authorities on the billion-dollar art theft business," teams with best-selling author Dary Matera to provide a thrilling ride through the secretive, cloak-and dagger underworld of the stolen art and artifacts. For thirty-six years, Special Agent McShane masked his colorful alter egos in various disguises as he chased down $900 million worth of purloined pieces. Along the way, he matched wits with a devil's brew of deadly mobsters, devious con men and criminal masterminds, usually in dangerous face-to-face encounters.
