Description
The third book in this graphic nonfiction series about real FBI cases details the Isabella Stewart Gardner heist--the largest, and one of the most famous, art thefts in the world.
CASE NO. 003: THE GARDNER
MARCH 18, 1990
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS
1:24 a.m.
Two thieves posing as Boston Police officers gain entry to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Once inside, they steal thirteen pieces of art, including several rare Rembrandts.
Eighty-one minutes later, these men walk off with $500 million worth of art. This heist is the single largest private property theft in the United States--and despite decades of investigation and dozens of false leads, the case remains unsolved to this day.
Don't miss the first two gripping installments in this thrilling series, Unsolved Case Files: Escape at 10,000 Feet and Unsolved Case Files: Jailbreak at Alcatraz.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
PRAISE FOR ESCAPE AT 10,000 FEET: "This stranger-than-fiction saga thrives thanks to spectacular design choices: 'Dick Tracy'--esque hard-boiled cartooning; rugged, mechanical typefaces; and a bevy of files, folders, and miscellaneous paperwork come together to form a fabulous criminal collage. A compulsively readable series debut." - Kirkus Reviews
PRAISE FOR ESCAPE AT 10,000 FEET: "Sporting a comic book's sensibility with a Common Core State Standard's love of primary documents and a narrative voice you'd follow to the ends of the earth, THIS is what we need to see more of, people!" - Fuse #8 Blog/School Library Journal
