Please join me Thursday, September 26 at 6:30PM for the Texas Author Series at Chez Zee American Bistro as I interview Rena Pederson
Join us for Happy Hour & in depth interview of Rena Pederson, author of "The King of Diamonds: The Search for the Elusive Texas Jewel Thief"
About The Book
"The King of Diamonds" is the true crime mystery of a Dallas jewel thief who got away with millions in missing jewels during the swinging, oil-rich Sixties. It was a time when debutantes partied like jet-setters, and TV ads proclaimed, "If you don't have an oil well, get one!" A daring jewel thief dubbed "The King of Diamonds" took advantage of this golden opportunity. He was so brazen that he slipped into the homes of Dallas millionaires while they were asleep or having a party downstairs.
