The Pierre Hotel Affair by Daniel Simone
The startling and sensational true story of the most famous unsolved heist in American history: the theft of $28 million in jewels from the Pierre Hotel.
“If you loved the television series Mad Men, hanker for a time when jewel thieves were referred to as “gentlemen,” and wish all business lunches revolved around three or more martinis, then it’s likely you’ll find something to like in this outrageous true life tale” -- New York Journal of Books
“Written in a sensational and lurid style, reminding me of an early Mickey Spillane crime thriller, the book recounts the detailed planning of the robbery, the robbery itself and the bloody aftermath. A tale of mendacity, greed and violence.” -- Washington Times
“Daniel Simone has done it again with his latest outstanding tale. This literary work had all of the ingredients of a major blockbuster. The perfect book, about the perfect crime!” -- Hamptons TV
“Simone tells this engrossing tale directly, and he is one helluva writer. Like many of the most compelling true crime tales, the distinction between cops and robbers is blurry at best. Fine reading.” -- Booklist [praise for 'The Lufthansa Heist']
“Reads like fiction.” -- Publishers Weekly
“The Lufthansa Heist is an amazing, in-depth look at one of the most notorious heists in American history.” -- The Queens Gazette [praise for 'The Lufthansa Heist']
