Writer, author, journalist, and teacher, Stephanie Schorow discusses “The Crime of the Century: How the Brinks Robbers Stole Millions and the Hearts of Boston.”

In January of 1950, a band of misfit thieves broke into the Brink’s armored car headquarters in Boston’s North End and pulled off the largest robbery in U.S. history. The Crime of the Century went unsolved for six years and police only cracked the case when one of the robbers turned stool pigeon. Much of the money was never recovered. Stephanie uses historical images, FBI evidence, movie clips and humor to bring the story of the Brink’s heist to life.

Stephanie Schorow is a former reporter for the Boston Herald and a freelance writer focusing on topics of regional and national interest. She is the author of Boston on Fire: A History of Fires and Firefighting in Boston and The Cocoanut Grove Fire. She lives in Medford, Massachusetts.
