Be careful what you steal . . . A fast-paced crime caper from the Edgar Awardâwinning author and âfunniest man in the worldâ (The Washington Post Book World). The Byzantine Fire is much more than a ninety-carat ruby. As a stone itâs worth over a million dollars, a value vastly increased by its pure gold bandâbut its history makes it priceless. A ring that has been fought for with sword and pen, and passed from nation to nation by all manner of theft and trickery, it finally made its way to the United States. The US has agreed to return it to Turkey, but itâs about to be stolen twice more. A gang of Greeks armed with Sten guns burst into the security room at JFK Airport and escape with the priceless stone, which they deposit in the safe at a small jewelerâs shop in Queens. A few hours later, unlucky thief John Dortmunder, expecting a routine robbery, steals it again. Much blood has been shed for this little ruby, and Dortmunderâs could be next.
