Story4.5 out of 5 stars 84
Here is a glittering true-crime tale unlike any you have ever encountered. Glittering because the take involved rubies, emeralds, diamonds, sapphires. The thieves were two men from Yonkers, Dominick Latella and Pete Salerno, who hit the East Coast mansions of the wealthy enclaves of Westchester and Palm Beach. Over 20 years they became known as the most successful jewel thieves in American history...until one bleak night when they got careless.

Fascinating tale - told wonderfully by the author
Reviewed: 08-05-20
The story is an amazing one - another case of fact being stranger than fiction. Yudhijit does a great job of effortlessly capturing the essence of the story and and of highlighting some of the key pivots that changed the course of the main characters. I love the anecdotes that really bring this tale to life. I can only imagine the interviews the author must have had with the characters to write this story. Highly recommended reading ... though if you live in certain kinds of houses dinner time may never be the same again!
