A gripping Jazz Age crime novel about Arthur Barry, "the greatest jewel thief who ever lived" (Life magazine). He captivated everyone from the Rockefellers to royalty, planning and executing the most daring and lucrative heists of the 1920s. Over the course of seven years, the Prince of Thieves stole nearly $60 million in diamonds, pearls, and precious stones.

Impeccably elegant, incredibly courteous, and with exquisite manners, he was beloved by all, but he loved nothing more than jewelry. And it's also a love story. The one and only love of a lifetime. Barry confessed to dozens of burglaries (and was the prime suspect in countless others) to protect his wife, Anna Blake. Sentenced to a long prison term, he orchestrated a prison break when Anna fell seriously ill so they could spend a few more years together, even though it cost him seventeen years in prison.

Catch Me If You Can, The Great Gatsby, and Lupin all come together in this captivating tale of an irresistible criminal.
