Arthur Brand specialiseerde zich, na een studie Spaans en geschiedenis, in de kunst- en antiquiteitenhandel en groeide uit tot de bekendste kunstdetective van de wereld. Zijn vondsten van onder meer de paarden van Hitler, een schilderij van Dalí en een van Picasso, van vijf schilderijen uit het Westfries Museum, van de ring van Oscar Wilde en het Marcus-mozaïek waren wereldnieuws. De totale waarde van mede door Brand opgeloste zaken wordt geschat op meer dan 250 miljoen euro.

The true story of a detective, two bronze horses and the dictator who set the world on fire.
When detective Arthur Brand is summoned to a meeting with one of the most dangerous men in the art world, he learns that a clue has emerged that could solve one of the Second World War’s unexplained mysteries: what really happened to the Striding Horses, Hitler’s favourite statue, which disappeared during the bombing of Berlin.
As Brand goes undercover to find the horses, he discovers a terrifying world ruled by neo-Nazis and former KGB agents, where Third Reich memorabilia sells for millions of dollars. The stakes get ever higher as Brand carefully lays his trap to catch the criminal masterminds trying to sell the statue on the black market. But who are they? And will he manage to bring them to justice before they discover his real identity?
With a plot worthy of John Le Carré, Hitler’s Horses is a thrilling retelling of one of history's most extraordinary heists.
