Manual for Master Thives

How did the thieves manage to accomplish the crimes? What happened to the stolen treasures? And how did the thieves end up? This book gives you the answers to these and many other questions you may have about the world of master thieves!

You’ve probably seen them in movies: the master thieves who trick the world’s smartest alarms, steal expensive paintings and disappear into thin air – without leaving a single trace. But who are the master thieves in real life?

Get to know the man who stole Skrik – Norway’s most famous painting. Meet the gang behind the world’s largest diamond heist and the thief nicknamed Spider-Man. Read about the biggest bank robbery in Norwegian history and a hundred kilo gold coin that disappeared. And not to mention the robberies at the Louvre in Paris, the most recent robbery took place as recently as October 2025!

The book is richly illustrated by Bård Sletvold Torkildsen.
