Recs if you like The Gardner Heist: The True Story of the World's Largest Unsolved Art Theft...

These are some of my favorites and books I want to read--nonfiction that reads like fiction or is otherwise compelling. If you're intimidated by books on history, science, memoir, or other subgenres in nonfiction, start here.

recently gotten really obsessed with heists/heist movies (if anyone can find anything that scratches the same itch “The Sting” does I would be forever grateful) and I’m trying to collect books with similar feels/themes. very very open to suggestions.

art heists, forging, provenance, art crimes galore!

A collection of illegal collectors. What's the obsession? Thieving or what's thieved?

(Also I think if they had like Smiskis or Labubus things might have been different)

Suggestions welcome!

nonfiction about crime that is not* murder, rape, or war crimes: financial crime, cons, burglary, heists, fraud, forgery, art crime, trespass, political bribery, espionage, and arson

*NOT a guarantee of NO violence. please research content warnings if applicable
