This caper novel is by the thriller writer who created the PBS television series PRIME SUSPECT. Thanks to a first-rate education, an assumed upper-class accent, and a daring robbery, Eddy Jersey, son of a London East End bookie, is now Edward de Jersey, an extremely wealthy racehorse owner whom everyone believes to be a blueblood. But when de Jersey loses his money in a scam, he decides that the only way to hold on to his posh life is to engineer the most audacious robbery ever devised: stealing the Crown Jewels.
