How did the son of a decorated policeman grow up to become one of Boston's most notorious criminals?
How did he survive a decades-long feud with the Boston police and the FBI?
How did he manage to escape one jail sentence with a simple fake gun carved out of soap?
How did he trade the return of a famous Rembrandt in exchange for early release from another sentence?
Along the way, he robbed banks, warehouses, trailers, and estate homes. He engaged in rooftop shootouts with the police. He walked the streets of Boston in
disguise while dozens of policemen were out searching for him. This book is part confession, part thrill ride, and impossible to put down.
This book is a roller-coaster ride of a life, by a man who was drawn to misadventure at every turn. As a promising young rock star, Myles Connor started collecting Japanese swords and weapons. Soon his collection expanded through less than legitimate means, and his education in European masters and modern artists accelerated. Disguised as an art collector, he spent time in the archives of museums far and wide, and visited after hours to take advantage of what he learned by day.
