The thrilling story of a brazen, uncatchable jewel thief who roamed the homes of Dallas high society-and a window into the dark secrets lurking beneath the surface of the Swinging Sixties.
As a string of high profile jewel thefts went unsolved, "the King of Diamonds," as he was dubbed by the press, eluded police and the FBI for more than a decade and took advantage of the parties and devil-may-care attitude of the Swinging Sixties.
