| book description |

In 1969, during a Boston snowstorm, a crate containing Pablo Picassoâ€™s Portrait of a Woman and a Musketeer vanished from Logan Airport. It should have gone to a Milwaukee galleryâ€”but instead ended up in the closet of Bill Rummel, a young forklift operator. What followed was a stranger-than-fiction chain of events: FBI agents on the hunt, whispers of Whitey Bulgerâ€™s mob, and a daring â€œreverse heistâ€ devised by Billâ€™s father to secretly return the painting. But the mystery didnâ€™t end there. After its return, the Picasso disappeared againâ€”vanishing into private hands, unseen by the public for more than fifty years. Part true crime, part memoir, The Accidental Picasso Thief uncovers the Rummel familyâ€™s incredible brush with art history, crime, and secrecyâ€”and one manâ€™s decades-long search for a lost masterpiece.
