Great Art Thefts examines famous art crimes and the hunt to find the thieves.

Part of the Treasure Hunters series, 'Great Art Thefts' offers a crosscurricular mix of science & technology and history, with a fun, dramatic approach.

Art thefts covered in the book include the Mona Lisa, the Scream, the Millennium theft from the Ashmolean Museum, and the greatest ever single art theft: the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist.

The book also looks at the motives for these crimes, and the measure that can be taken to protect valuable works of art from unscrupulous criminals.
