Summary:

Before Bonnie and Clyde there was Tiger Girl and the Candy Kid - smarter, more successful and better looking. In the wake of war, a pandemic, and an economic depression, Margaret and Richard Whittemore, two love-struck working-class kids from Baltimore reached for the dream of a better life. In the heart of the Jazz Age, they headed up a gang that in less than a year stole over one million dollars' worth of diamonds and precious gems -- over fifteen million dollars today. -- from dust jacket
