Well-known The Departed scribe William Monahan is set to work on another crime story and possible as the director.

“The Art of the Heist: Confessions of a Master Thief, Rock-and-Roller and Prodigal Son”  is the project about the forthcoming memoirs of career criminal Myles Connor.

The book was co-written with Jenny Siler and will be published in April by Collins.

Connor turned into an art connoisseur and a rock musician whose band, Myles and the Wild Ones, backed Roy Orbison. He was also a skilled art and antiques thief who was implicated in a series of museum robberies that captured headlines in Boston in the 1970s and 1980s.

Monahanwill direct the script but it’s unclear if he will write the script.
