"The Stealing of the Wyeth Paintings" is the topic of award-winning author and newspaper reporter Bruce E. Mowday's talk on Wednesday, November 20, from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. at the Bel Air Library, 100 East Pennsylvania Avenue in Bel Air. The event is supported by the Bel Air Friends of HCPL, and copies of "Stealing Wyeth" will be available for purchase and signing.
 
In his book, titled "Stealing Wyeth," Mowday recounts the 1982 story of the 15 paintings stolen from the Wyeth Estate in Chadds Ford, Pa. The search for the paintings took investigators throughout the United States on a chase that involved gamblers, drug dealers and murders. Mowday's book tells how law enforcement brought the criminals to justice.
 
Mowday has authored 20 books on history, sports, business and true crime. He has appeared on the Discovery ID channel, ReelZ network, C-SPAN, Pennsylvania Cable Network, Hollywood and Beyond, Whatcha Got, Journey into the Civil War, Chronicles of the American Civil War and other television shows.
