Books by Michael Finkel

Michael Finkel is an American journalist who has written for National Geographic, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times Magazine. He is also the author of The Art Thief, about a French museum robber who stole hundreds of works over decades. Finkel's earlier book True Story recounts his unlikely correspondence with a murderer while Finkel was himself under scrutiny for a fabricated magazine article — an experience that gave him a nuanced view of people who exist outside social norms. He lives in Montana.
