House of Lies

Praise for Anthony Amore

“Amore illustrates with an irresistible blend of wryness and affection.” * The New York Times Book Review *
“Anthony Amore’s book gets up close and personal with Myles Connor, a seasoned art thief who was half of the duo that plucked the piece off the museum wall, and delving into the stranger-than-fiction backstory of how and why he ended up at the center of one of the art world’s darkest moments.” – Town & Country
“Amore delivers a dramatic and colorful recounting of the 1975 theft of Rembrandt’s Portrait of Elsbeth van Rijn from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. Amore constructs an impressively detailed play-by-play of the theft, drawing on his own investigations into the thefts of artworks and his access to Connor and Dotoli, both of whom he’d befriended, and sources in law enforcement and the art world. This captivates.” – Publishers Weekly
“Engrossing.” * The Washington Post *
“With hard facts and a clear-eyed perspective, this book sets the record straight.” * Associated Press *
“A must-read for any true crime fan.” * Howie Carr, New York Times bestselling author of The Brother’s Bulger *
