Description

A gang of ruthless, highly organized criminals is about to break into the De Beers vault at the Millennium Dome in London using a JCB digger. Their target includes the largest perfect diamond the world has ever seen - The De Beers Millennium Star, the Mona Lisa of diamonds. Until now, the value of the biggest diamond robbery on record is GBP 25,000,000. These jewels are worth over ten times more. The greatest robbery of all time has begun. Led by 38-year-old Raymond Betson, they have only five minutes to bulldoze into the Dome, penetrate an impregnable vault, grab the diamonds and escape by speedboat across the River Thames. What they don't know is that Jon Shatford - one of Scotland Yard's toughest detectives is watching - and he is about to stage the most audacious police operation in history to stop them.
