Stone 588 by Gerald A. Browne (1986)

A diamond with mysterious powers, stolen and pursued

Good condition for age.

New York diamond dealer Phillip Springer inherits Stone 588, a flawed, seemingly worthless diamond his family could never sell, only to discover it may have genuine healing power, power he desperately needs for his critically ill son. When the stone is stolen, Springer assembles a heist team to get it back, pulling him into a world of diamond dealers, professional thieves, a decadent socialite, a mobster, and even the CIA. Gerald A. Browne, the bestselling author of 19 Purchase Street, combines an authentic, well-researched look inside the diamond trade with a fast-paced thriller plot, building to a tense confrontation on the rooftops of New York.
