Summary:
In the summer of 1913, under the cover of London's perpetual smoggy dusk, two brilliant minds are pitted against each other, a celebrated gentleman thief and a talented Scotland Yard detective, in the greatest jewel heist of the century. Molly Caldwell Crosby investigates the true story of how the strand of pale pink pearls, worth more than the Hope Diamond, vanishes without a trace while in transit to London from Paris and the cat-and-mouse game between Scotland Yard and the thief.
