Today we'll discuss the book: "The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural Heist of the Century" by Kirk Wallace Johnson (2018)

Documents the astonishing 2009 theft of an invaluable collection of ornithological displays from the British Museum of Natural History by a talented American musician, tracing the author's years-long investigation to track down the culprit and understand his motives, which were possibly linked to an obsession with the Victorian art of salmon fly-tying.
