Description
It is a case that has baffled authorities for two decades. On Saint Patrick's Day, 1990, as the City of Boston celebrated its favorite holiday, thieves broke into the Isabella Stewart Gardner musem and made off with $300 million worth of art. Best Laid Plans follows the interwoven paths of militants and murderers, police and politicians, and the City of Boston herself as they all lead to the largest art heist in American history.
