I contenuti

This title reveals how a group of thieves broke into an allegedly airtight vault and made off with over $108 million dollars worth of diamonds. This real-life Ocean's Eleven provides a thrilling in-depth study. On February 15, 2003, a group of thieves broke into an allegedly airtight vault in the international diamond capital of Antwerp, Belgium and made off with over $108 million dollars worth of diamonds. They did so without tripping an alarm or injuring a single guard in the process. Tracking the threads of the story throughout Europe - from Belgium to Italy - the authors sorted through an array of conflicting details, divergent opinions and incongruous theories to put together the puzzle of what actually happened that Valentine's Day weekend.

.. .a fascinating chronicle...Like a finely cut gem, this well-polished, multifaceted book sparkles. -- Publishers Weekly Fans of true crime (especially those who appreciate less violence and no gore) and of crime caper movies will especially enjoy this fun romp. -- Library Journal

Sure to appeal to armchair rogues and, like Blood Diamond, cinema-ready. -- Kirkus Reviews Part whodunit, part mob tell-all, part diamond underworld reportage, Flawless is simply too good to miss. --Ulrich Boser, author of The Gardner Heist With Flawless, Scott Andrew Selby and Greg Campbell take the genre of true crime to a new level. Reading it, you realize that sometimes reality can be more fantastic than most action films. --Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi, New York Times bestselling authors of The Monster of Florence The first 'must-be-read-with-popcorn' book ever. Selby and Campbell's propulsive and cinematic narrative shimmers with truth, hubris and knowing details. I loved it. --Gregg Olsen, New York Times bestselling author of Starvation Heights That real life often outdoes fiction is no longer surprising, but when a true story is brilliantly told, it's a discovery worth shouting about. Flawless will leave you gasping as the authors gradually peel back the covers on one of the most audacious acts of high stakes mischief in the history of thievery. --Lee Gruenfeld, co-author of Confessions of a Master Jewel Thief In Flawless, Selby and Campbell expertly dissect this audacious crime in a compellingly expansive investigation ranging from the intricacies of the diamond industry to t
