About this listen

Sir Michael Caine - perhaps best known as gang leader Charlie Croker in 60s crime caper The Italian Job - tells the stories of remarkable heists and extraordinary robberies from around the world, as remembered by the masterminds, detectives, victims, journalists and witnesses that lived through them.

For more than 60 years, Caine has played thieves, criminals, gangsters and the detectives trying to catch them. But there's Hollywood and then there's real life... and that's when things get really interesting.

From the largest bank burglary in American history, to the world's most audacious book heist, Heist with Michael Caine travels to America, Australia, Stockholm, Antwerp and everywhere in-between to tell true stories behind the world's most daring heists.

    One of the biggest diamond robberies in history, a massive haul of diamonds and jewels from an “impregnable” vault in the world’s diamond capital – Antwerp, Belgium.

I enjoyed most of the stories which are hosted by the always listenable Michael Caine. If you are a fan of true Crime, or more particuarly true burgarlies, then you will enjoy these stories of major cases around the world. They are not all well known, but all are fascinating in their own way. Great job!

A great listen. Atmospheric, funny and exciting. I can’t wait to listen to them all. Although maybe they would have a better time figuring out “who done it” if whenever they refer to a unknown member of the gang they didn’t call them a he...although great for the female criminal fraternity to be unexamined!

Fantastic, wraps you up and carries you along
