The Irish Game: A True Story of Crime and Art

London: Chatto & Windus, 2004 In the annals of art theft, no case has matched-for sheer criminal panache the heist at Ireland's Russborough House in 1986. The Irish police knew right away that the mastermind was a seedy, rotund, and brazen Dublin gangster named Martin Cahill. Yet the great plunderincluding a Gainsborough, A Goya, two works by Rubens, and Vermeer's Lady Writing a Letter with Her Maid remained maddeningly at large for years. Cahill taunted the police with a string of other crimes, but in the end the paintings brought him low. The challenge of disposing of such famous works forced him to reach outside his familiar world into the international arena, and when he did, his pursuers were waiting. The movie-perfect sting that broke Cahill uncovered a maze of banking and drug-dealing connections that redefined the way police view art theft. As if that were not enough, the recovery of the Vermeerby then worth two hundred million dollarsled to a remarkable discovery about the way Vermeer achieved his photographic perspective.. Softcover. Near Fine.
