Hardback. Condizione: New. On Saint Patrick's Day, 1990, one of the largest art thefts in the world took place-the heist of Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in which thirteen works of art, worth over half a billion dollars, were stolen by two thieves posing as policemen. Had there been a prior practice run for this theft…? Ten years earlier, during the Christmas season, two thieves who posed as delivery men, after hijacking a FedEx van and etherizing its female driver, were thwarted in their attempt of a nearly identical robbery at The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, New York-an art museum modeled after a one in Boston. The young mastermind of these crimes was Brian McDevitt of Swampscott, Massachusetts. He arrived in the small NY town in the spring of 1980, posing as a rich Vanderbilt heir and freelance writer. Prior to his failed heist he spent two months ingratiating himself to the museum's director, the author of this story, in hopes of extracting vital information that would aid in his crime. The book investigates the planning and execution of The Hyde's attempted robbery and traces McDevitt's various escapades following his jail sentences in New York State and one in Massachusetts over a previous bank heist. Ten years later he fled Boston immediately after the Gardner heist and settled in Hollywood, California, masquerading as a screenwriter. When word of his criminal past hit the West Coast, he hightailed it to South America to avoid extradition where he mysteriously died. FBI and Gardner Museum officials act skeptical about McDevitt's association with the heist, yet they claim they know who the perpetrators were but that they are dead, raising suspicion that McDevitt may be in the witness protection program. This story also explores the fascinating history of these two rather impoverished sister museums with art collections of international renown, that were jolted into the recognition of their vulnerabilities, following one thwarted and one actual theft. And even more fascinating is the possibility that a single individual might have been the mastermind of both crimes.

Aggiungi al carrelloAn interesting letter regarding a celebrated Victorian scandal. In 1884 Frederic had come to England with his wife and five children as the London correspondent of the New York TImes. He set up a second household with Kate Lyon, with whom he had a further three children. Lyons was a Christian Scientist, and when Frederic suffere…d a stroke in 1898, she tried to cure him by faith healing, but he died. At the instigation of Mrs Frederic, Lyon was tried for manslaughter, but was acquitted. 3pp., 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition, lightly-aged, with minor traces of two tissue mounts. She begins by stating that his letter has remained unanswered due to '[h]ealth which is not very strong and an unusual pressure of letters'. She is 'somewhat puzzled what to say', but while contributing five guineas, does not wish to be put on the committee of the fund 'for poor Mrs. Frederic & her children'. She concludes: 'I much admired some sides of Mr. Frederic's talent, but circumstances disclosed at the inquest were very painful, and my mind is so far from clear on the whole subject that I should prefer not to be on the Committee'. A postscript regarding the making out of the cheque for five guineas is in another hand. Loosely inserted is a slip of paper with a manuscript note (by Fisher?) regarding the author of the letter. From a batch of papers received by Fisher in connection with the fund.
