Sinossi

Stolen Art explores the shadowy world of art theft, delving into the motivations behind these crimes and the efforts to recover priceless cultural treasures. It examines the psychology of art thieves, ranging from petty criminals to sophisticated professionals, and the diverse methods they employ, from simple burglaries to elaborate schemes involving forgery. The book highlights the crucial work of law enforcement, art recovery specialists, and international organizations dedicated to preserving cultural heritage.

 
The narrative explores famous art heists, analyzing their planning, execution, and aftermath, while avoiding sensationalism. Readers will discover the complex legal and ethical challenges involved in art recovery and learn about the impact of technology on art crime, both as a tool for thieves and for investigators.

 
The book argues that art theft is a crime against culture, diminishing our collective heritage and depriving future generations of the opportunity to appreciate these masterpieces. Beginning with an introduction to the major players in the art world, the book progresses through case studies and thematic explorations, culminating in practical recommendations for securing art collections and preventing future thefts.

 
This unique approach examines art theft from multiple perspectives, offering a comprehensive understanding of this complex issue.

    'I have an excellent memory for faces. I recall the face of every dead body I have ever seen. Every murder victim, every suicide, every cot death and every death reported as unexplained.'
    At the age of 22, Dennis McGookin was made a Detective Constable in the Criminal Investigation Department of Kent County Constabulary. He had no way of knowing at the time, but this career decision would put him at the heart of some of the most notorious crimes in Britain, including the case of Kenneth Noye, the so-called 'M25 Road Rage Killer', and the largest human-smuggling homicide investigation in British history.
    Told with forensic detail, but also humanity and heart, The Many Faces of Crime is the story of an extraordinary career that took McGookin from the south side of Belfast to the diplomatic echelons of Beijing, and put him face-to-face with both victims and murderers.

    Murder may seem easy, and getting away with it even easier, particularly in Indian Country. Big Horn County, MT, where Ms. Bley grew up, bears the unfortunate distinction of having the highest rate of missing and murdered women and girls. Selena Not Afraid fell victim to this hidden epidemic on New Year's Day 2020, disappearing without a trace under mysterious circumstances. Her body was discovered 20 days later in an open field, previously intensively searched. The county sheriff hastily labeled her death as "accidental hypothermia" before she could undergo a thorough examination by a coroner, a cause of death that appears all too common in Crow Indian country. 
    The lack of answers surrounding Selena's disappearance and the questionable cause of her death sparked outrage in the community. 'Stolen Voices: Missing and Murdered in Big Horn County' compellingly recounts the stories of several young Native American Indians who have gone missing or been brutally murdered in Big Horn County. This book not only raises awareness but also sheds light on first-hand perspectives from the family members of Crow and Cheyenne tribal members who were killed. Additionally, it highlights the efforts of those working to make a difference in Indian Country, aiming to reduce instances of violence against Native women. 'Stolen Voices' is a Multi- Award Winning book that delves into the deeper issues at the heart of this hidden epidemic, whose awareness is gaining momentum.

    What drives someone to commit the unthinkable?
    Austin 1966. Dunblane 1996. Port Arthur 1996. Utøya 2011. 
    In this deeply insightful account, pre-eminent forensic psychiatrist Paul E. Mullen examines the complex psychology behind lone mass killers. With unflinching clarity, he burrows into the minds of these damaged individuals, drawing on his decades of forensic work assessing mass murderers first-hand. 
    Mullen brings readers into a dark landscape populated with killers who have achieved the ugly fame they had sought – in the US, UK, Australia, Norway and beyond – as well as lesser-known, equally chilling cases. He illuminates troubling patterns that unite the perpetrators, such as obsessive rage, personal grievance, fascination with weapons and yearning for infamy, often culminating in suicide. He also considers the impact of media sensationalism on the killers' grandiose fantasies and proposes steps toward better threat assessment and identification of warning signs. 
    Challenging myths around madness and violence, Mullen reveals the unsettling truth: these killers are not incomprehensible monsters, but profoundly disturbed people shaped by knowable forces that, when properly understood, can be countered effectively. Running Amok does not simply examine tragedy; it is a call to action, urging society to confront the shadows and prevent the next horror.
