stephenkurkjianmasterthievesJoin us Wednesday, May 18 at 1 pm for a visit from author Stephen Kurkjian!

Stephen Kurkjian will discuss his gripping account of the still-unsolved heist from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston a quarter century ago. In MASTER THIEVES, Kurkjian reveals how the two criminal gangs battling for control of the Boston underworld knew of the museum’s poor security and that one had a motive to pull off the theft – to fashion an exchange that would result in the release of its leader from federal prison. Kurkjian is one of the most acclaimed investigative reporters in the country. A 40 year veteran of the Boston Globe, he is the paper’s former Washington bureau chief and a founding member of its investigative Spotlight Team. Kurkjian has won many national and regional awards, including the Pulitzer Prize on three occasions.

This event is free and open to the public.

Refreshments will follow presentation.
