My 5 favorite art heist films

 You know my new novel, The Strange Case of the Dutch Painter, is about the murder of Vincent van Gogh. But it's also about a daring art forgery ring, because I love art heist tales as much as I love Sherlock Holmes.

"The days when you could walk out of the Louvre with the Mona Lisa under your arm are over. There are all sorts of safeguards now—electric eyes, pressure sensors, lasers, which in the movies at least, must usually be overcome by dangling the thieves from the ceiling. I love art-heist stories."
