Rogues in the Gallery

The Modern Plague of Art Thefts

By: Hugh McLeave

Rogues in the Gallery exposes it all: the cozy insurance ransom racket, the professional gangs of art thieves, the specialists, the connections with the international drug racket and the Mafia. Hugh McLeave has researched the whys and wherefores of the question for years, drawing on resources available to him through agencies such as Interpol, the FBI, the French Sret(r), and Scotland Yard. Rogues in the Gallery is a lively and informed account of the causesOCoand limited curesOCoof this epidemic. It charts the classic outbreaks, portrays the rich gallery of protagonists, and defines what means there are to combat the disease. But even with sophisticated computers and Interpol, the total elimination of art theft is unlikely. As long as auction prices continue to rise and inflation devalues savings, the theft of precious objects will flourish. The lure of easy money is at the root. This is a serious book on an urgent problem, especially for those who collect art. For an author bio, photo, and a sample read visit bosonbooks.com

The Bonaparte Plot

By: Hugh McLeave

In 1803 it seems nothing can stop Napoleon Bonaparte from invading and conquering England. So, Prime Minister William Pitt creates a plan to thwart his deadly enemy. He recruits and finances a French royalist general, George Cadoudal, giving him the order to kidnap or kill Bonaparte and restore the Bourbon monarchy. Cadoudal comes within an ace of fulfilling his mission, but Bonaparte proves he is a master tactician and a mean detective when he unravels the murder plot. In order to rule as Emperor of France, he constructs his own ruthless plot that will cost many lives. This fictional account is based on historical characters and the testimony of Bonaparte and his contemporaries.
