About the book
he Wyeth family - including Andrew, his father N.C and son Jamie - were one of the most significant art dynasties in America. In 1982, a gang of thieves decided to steal an original Wyeth painting for their 'retirement' and engaged a professional cat burglar to carry out the robbery. The theft resulted in the loss of 15 paintings from the Wyeth estate, with initial reports valuing the stolen works at around £550,000 - today, those paintings would be worth millions of dollars. The search for the paintings takes the investigators throughout the United States and involves dangerous thieves, gamblers, drug dealers and murderers.
