You weren't supposed to root for the thieves. You did anyway.
When four men strolled out of the Louvre in 2025 with the French crown jewels, a small, disgraceful part of you hoped they'd make it. Don't worry. You're in excellent company—about three thousand years of it.
Heist tells the true stories of thirty of history's greatest robberies, from the systematic looting of the pharaohs' tombs to that eight-minute job at the Louvre. Along the way you'll meet:
A medieval wool merchant who settled his debts by robbing the King of England's treasury
A con man who tried to steal the Crown Jewels in 1671—and was pardoned by the very king he'd robbed
A handyman who walked out of the Louvre with the Mona Lisa tucked under his coat
A gang of pensioners who spent their retirement drilling through six feet of concrete in Hatton Garden
The "heist of the century," brought down by a man who really, truly hated litter
Each chapter is a complete story: the planning, the brilliance, and the exact moment it all falls apart. Because the truly impossible heist was never stealing the crown jewels. It's stealing them and living happily ever after—the one job nobody has ever pulled off.
Thirty heists. Three thousand years. A masterclass in ambition, greed, and spectacularly poor decisions.
