The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century

It's for the birds...

An unlikely young American pulls off a major theft at the Tring Museum in England, that goes undetected for more than a year. A true-crime tale that ties together seemingly unrelated stories; a museum break-in; evolutionary theory; a case for endangered birds; and the fly-tying obsessive individuals engaged in the international underworld of obtaining rare and protected bird feathers. The history of hundreds of millions killed for the sake of fashion in the early 1900’s.  “You'll never look at a feather the same way again after reading this intriguing detective story”
