Item:326062390639The Man who Robbed The Pierre Ira Berkow First edition Signed. In January 1972, men in tuxedos robbed the Pierre, the luxurious
Manhattan hotel, and got away with eleven million dollars’ worth of cash
and jewelry. The police were baffled by how such a large-scale
operation could go off so smoothly. The answer lay in the leader of the
thieves, a man by the name of Bobby Comfort. He had taken to crime from a
young age with card sharping and petty theft. Eventually, taking money
from the rich was where he excelled. Sort of like Robin Hood—except for
the part where he kept the loot himself—Comfort masterminded what was,
at the time, the most lucrative heist in history, while appearing to his
neighbors like an ordinary suburban family man. In this blend
of insightful biography and true crime, Pulitzer Prize–winning
journalist Ira Berkow chronicles the story, using first-hand accounts to
weave together a fascinating portrait of a criminal and “a corking good
cops-and-robbers tale
