Book Description
Paul Hater, an infamous jewel thief, is arrested when trying to dispose of a necklace belonging to the Chittabad collection which mysteriously vanished on route from India to New York. No amount of police 'persuasion' will make him reveal where the rest of the collection is hidden, and he is sentenced to 20 years imprisonment at the notorious Bellmore State Prison Farm, Louisiana. For 15 years, the International Detective Agency, acting on behave of the insurance companies involved, have searched for the missing collection. Their one hope now is to wait until Hater has completed his prison term, and to rely on a false move by him to lead them to the hiding place of the collection. But before he is released, Hater is kidnapped from prison by a ruthless gang who are determined to force his secret from him and get their hands on the four-million dollar collection.
