Join fellow True Crime enthusiasts at our newest book club! This month, we'll read Gardner Heist: The True Story of the World's Largest Unresolved Art Theft. Books available one month before program.

On March 18, 1990, two men dressed as policemen broke into Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and walked out with a dozen masterpieces worth $500 million. To date, not one painting has been recovered. Before he died, Harold Smith, one of the world's greatest art detectives, believed he was close to cracking the case. After Smith's family gave journalist Ulrich Boser access to his research, Boser explored Smith's unfinished leads.

Books are available at the ATS Desk one month before the book discussion.

DGPL'S newest book club, Armchair Detectives, chooses a new true crime nonfiction book every month. Uncover the truth the third week of every month.

Contact the Adult & Teen Services Desk at ATS@dglibrary.org with questions.
