Priceless masterpieces. Empty frames. Stolen history.
Art crime is not just about missing paintings. It is a multi-billion-dollar criminal industry involving thieves, con artists, organized crime, black market collectors, forged masterpieces, and cultural treasures that may never be recovered.
In Snatched: FBI's Top Ten Art Crimes & More, Synova Cantrell takes readers inside some of the most fascinating and bizarre art crime cases from around the world. From master thieves and mafia-connected heists to reckless criminals who stole priceless works without understanding what they had taken, these cases reveal the strange and shadowy world where beauty, greed, history, and crime collide.
This volume explores cases connected to the FBI's Top Ten Art Crimes, the work of the FBI Art Crime Team, daring museum thefts, stolen masterpieces, and the ongoing fight to recover pieces of history before they disappear forever.
Part of Synova's Casefile Series, this book collects true crime cases previously researched and highlighted by Synova, bringing together brief but compelling case overviews for readers who enjoy cold cases, historic crimes, unsolved mysteries, and investigative storytelling.
