Over the Easter weekend in 2015, an audacious gang of criminals robbed a safe depository in London's Hatton Garden, the centre of the UK's diamond trade. Shortly before, electrical cables under nearby Kingsway had caught on fire, disrupting the emergency services in the area. Coincidence? Alarms at Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd went off, but the police ignored them. The burglars were caught on CCTV taking jewellery worth up to $200 million.

They had used specialist equipment, taking days to tunnel through the walls of the vault. Within a month nine suspects had been arrested & valuables seized from their homes. They were aged between forty-three & seventy-six, including a father & son.

The question was, were they the same gang that had made a similar daring raid in Hatton Garden safe netting 1.5 million over the Christmas holiday in 2004? The culprits then were never caught. In this fascinating investigation of the case & its aftermath, Gordon Bowers digs deep into the history of heists around the world & questions the motives & methods behind diamond theft.

A fascinating read sure to be perfect for fans of true crime.
