About this listen

It was the theft that made the world scream.

On February 12, 1994, just as the Winter Olympics opened in Lillehammer, Norway’s most famous artwork—Edvard Munch’s The Scream—was stolen in under 60 seconds from the National Gallery in Oslo. The culprits? A group of masked men with alleged ties to a modern-day Templar revivalist movement, combining ideology, symbolism, and street-level criminal precision.

The Knight Templar Heist: Norway’s Art Theft Saga (1994) recounts the planning, execution, and wild aftermath of one of Europe’s most shocking art crimes. James G. Edwards II brings this dramatic story to life with forensic detail and a thrilling narrative, taking readers deep into the underworld of stolen art, international investigation, and ideological delusion.

Perfect for fans of The Gardner Heist, The Feather Thief, and Stealing the Scream, this is a gripping chronicle of art, obsession, and the theft that rocked a nation.
