Colfax Avenue: Scott Selby, a Harvard Law grad and diamond expert, and Greg Campbell, author of Blood Diamonds, will discuss and sign their new book Flawless: Inside the Largest Diamond Heist in History ($24.95 Sterling). On February 15, 2003, a group of thieves broke into an allegedly airtight vault in the international diamond capital of Antwerp, Belgium and made off with over $108 million dollars worth of diamonds and other valuables. They did so without tripping an alarm or injuring a single guard in the process. Selby and Campbell undertook a global goose chase to uncover the true story behind the daring heist. Their book—a combination of diamond history, journalistic reportage, and riveting true-crime story—provides a thrilling in-depth study detailing the better-than-fiction heist of the century.
