The Gardner Museum Robbery

In the early hours of March 18, 1990, two men in police uniforms walked into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and walked out with thirteen works of art worth half a billion dollars, including a Vermeer, two Rembrandts, and a small bronze eagle that one of them had been thinking about for twenty years. The greatest unsolved art heist in history has never produced an arrest, a recovery, or a clear answer. But one name keeps surfacing: Robert "Bobby" Donati, a Boston mob soldier with a decades-long obsession, a coded promise to his imprisoned boss, and a violent death that may have sealed the mystery for good. What did he know? And where is the art now?
