The extraordinary life and crimes of heiress-turned-revolutionary Rose Dugdale, who in 1974 became the only woman to pull off a major art heist. In the world of crime, there exists an unusual commonality between those who steal art and those who repeatedly kill: they are almost exclusively male. But, as with all things, there is always an outlier—someone who bucks the trend, defying the reliable profiles and leaving investigators and researchers scratching their heads. In the history of major art heists, that outlier is Rose Dugdale. Dugdale’s life is singularly notorious. Born into extreme wealth, she abandoned her life as an Oxford-trained PhD and heiress to join the cause of Irish Republicanism. While on the surface she appears to be the British version of Patricia Hearst, she is anything but. Dugdale ran head-first towards the action, spearheading the first aerial terrorist attack in British history and pulling off the biggest art theft of her time. In 1974, she led a gang into the opulent Russborough House in Ireland and made off with millions in prized paintings, including works by Goya, Gainsborough, and Rubens, as well as Lady Writing a Letter with her Maid by the mysterious master Johannes Vermeer. Dugdale thus became—to this day—the only woman to pull off a major art heist. And as Anthony Amore explores in The Woman Who Stole Vermeer, it’s likely that this was not her only such heist. The Woman Who Stole Vermeer is Rose Dugdale’s story, from her idyllic upbringing in Devonshire and her presentation to Elizabeth II as a debutante to her university years and her eventual radical lifestyle. Her life of crime and activism is at turns unbelievable and awe-inspiring, and sure to engross readers.

Becoming an expert world-class jewel thief, she daringly pulled off numerous diamond robberies whilst her boyfriend fenced the stolen gems to Hollywood celebrities.

A stolen Matisse sketch worth millions. A museum brimming with stolen artwork. Two crews of honorable thieves determined to set things right. Justice is a word with which Master Thief Rayla Rousseau is very familiar. After all, as Thief à la Femme and one of the fourteen members of the all-female thieving crew known universally as Robins of the Hood, procuring justice for those who can't get it through legal means is what she does. So, when one of the Robins' own discovers the Arsenault Museum has stolen her ancestors' artwork, the sisterhood is all over it. Unfortunately, the museum's security has the lady thieves baffled-a first for the four-decades-old Robins. Enter International Jewel Thief Gregg Hadyn-a friend of the founding matriarch of the Robins of the Hood-who has the cunning and expertise needed to breach the museum's security. Gregg, however, is hampered by a small problem. He wears a tracking watch as part of his sentence to steal for a team of government spies. The women turn instead to Gregg's former crew, but after these top-line high-end thieves can't outsmart the museum's cagey security, they turn back to Gregg. Getting him to the museum proves as difficult as every other aspect of this seemingly impossible heist. But if they can manage it, one thing's for certain: With so many thieves in the mix, the infiltration and theft will be more of a coup than a heist against the disreputable and diplomatically protected Arsenault family. The best international high-end thieves in the business combine their talents to take down a century-old criminal enterprise in Two Crew Coup (Thief à la Femme Book 5), the third and last installation of the three-book Thief à la Femme - Requisition for a Thief Crossover Event. If you like books, movies, and TV shows where thieves are the heroes-and not really the bad guys-you'll love the Thief à la Femme and Requisition For: A Thief Book Series.

Heir to an impressive title and fortune, Lord William Townshend, Earl of Harclay, is among the most disreputable rakes in England. Desperately bored by dull heiresses and tedious soirees, he seeks new excitement—with a dangerous scheme to steal the world’s most legendary gemstone from its owner, Thomas Hope. To his surprise, however, it’s not the robbery that sets his blood burning but the alluring lady from whom he pilfers the gem. A string of bad luck has left the fate of Lady Violet Rutledge’s estate entirely in Hope’s scheming hands. So when his prized jewel disappears from around her neck, she has no choice but to track down the villain responsible for the theft. Only Harclay has his sights set on taking more from her than the necklace—and she’s tempted to surrender anything he desires… Now, caught in a thrilling game of secrecy and seduction, Violet must find a way to protect her fortune—and her heart—before she loses both forever…
