Who is Edwin Rist? Genius or Narcissist? Mastermind or Pawn? One summer evening in 2009 twenty-year-old musical prodigy Edwin Rist broke into the British Museum of Natural History. Hours later he slipped away with a suitcase full of rare bird specimens collected over the centuries from across the world all featuring a dazzling array of priceless feathers. Kirk Wallace Johnson was waist-deep in a river in New Mexico when he first heard about the heist from his fly-fishing guide. When he discovered that the thief evaded prison and that half the birds were never recovered Johnson embarked upon a years-long worldwide investigation which led him deep into the fiercely secretive underground community obsessed with the Victorian art of salmon fly-tying. A page-turning story of a bizarre and shocking crime The Feather Thief shines a light on our fraught relationship with the natural world's most beautiful and valuable wonders and one man's relentless quest for justice.
