Diamonds are not Forever: The Rise and Demise of the Heistmeister (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781326059286)

Diamonds Are Not Forever (The rise and Demise of the Heistmeister) A compelling story about the Bullock Family. Father, Herbert Senior. Mother, Lady Vanessa. Oldest Son, Herbert junior (Herbie). Daughter Elizabeth. and younger son, William (Bill). Dysfunctional, is an often used, description of family life where intimate issues occasionally fall outside of social normality, but with the Bullocks, this was an everyday occurrence. A socially climbing, "New Money" rather than historical gentry family, they struggled to be accepted by the cash poor, but reputationally rich aristocrats whom they envied so much. The children had little if no understanding of "Real Life" with the family wealth providing comfort and privilege beyond most peoples wildest dreams. A huge country estate in Hertfordshire, a town house in London's "upper class" Hampstead, and a successful jewellery business in Hatton Garden, but not the glittering array of socialite friends that were needed to fulfil Lady Vanessa's ideal. Self-opinionated and entitled children, with philandering parents and a somewhat "Bohemian" outlook on daily life was never going to bode well for the future, but then, into the picture comes Diana, a "Gonna-Be" popstar. Her recently formed group, "Shirley and The Temples" desperately need funding, but could the Bullock fortunes be their lifeline, after all the family have no interest in such things, but they reckon without the devious charms of "Shirley" A righteous romp through "Blood Money" wealth and privilege, as Shirley leads them all in a merry go round of sexual shenanigans, conspiracy, and eventually murder, where everyone is a suspect and yet seemingly no one has motives. But, there is no such thing as coincidence, and everything that Shirley (Diana) does, has justification, at least in her eyes, so how will things end?
