This book tell us about the 30 year career of a jewel thief from the Cleveland, Ohio area. It was interesting to read about places that I have heard of and even been to ( Headland Beach, in Mentor), but it soon became boring and I had to force myself to keep reading. I got the feeling that the thief was rather impressed with himself for all of the jobs that he pulled.. I am sorry that this book was on my toppling bookpile!!
