In 2009, twenty-year-old flautist and fly-tying prodigy Edwin Rist broke into a British museum and stole hundreds of rare bird specimens, some collected by Alfred Russel Wallace, to sell their valuable feathers. Years later, author Kirk Wallace Johnson became obsessed with uncovering why Rist committed the heist and what happened to the missing birds. The Feather Thief unravels a gripping true story of obsession, beauty, and humanity’s reckless exploitation of nature.
