Unsolved Case Files: The 500 Million Dollar Heist

The third book in the graphic nonfiction series, Unsolved Case Files, details the Isabella Stewart Gardner heist, which occurred on March 18, 1990, in Boston, Massachusetts. Two thieves disguised as Boston Police officers managed to enter the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum at 1:24 a.m., and stole thirteen pieces of art, including several rare Rembrandts. In just eighty-one minutes, they walked away with $500 million worth of art, marking it the single largest private property theft in the US. Despite extensive investigations and numerous false leads over the decades, the case remains unsolved. This book follows the first two installments in the series, which cover other famous unsolved cases.
