About this product
Product Information
New York City, 1972. Bobby Comfort and Sammy "the Arab" Nalo were highly skilled jewel thieves who specialized in robbing luxury Manhattan hotels. With the blessing of the Lucchese Crime Family, their next plot targeted the posh Pierre Hotel--host to kings and queens, presidents and aldermen, and the wealthiest of the wealthy. Attired in tuxedoes and driven in a limousine, this band of thieves arrived at the Pierre, seized the security guards and, in systematically choreographed moves, swiftly took the night staff--and several unfortunate guests who happened to be roaming about the lobby--as hostages. The deposit boxes inside the vault chamber were plundered and the gentlemanly thieves departed in their limousine with a haul of $28 million. But then matters began to deteriorate. The authorities immediately suspected Comfort and Nalo of masterminding The Pierre ambush and arrested them, but the veteran criminals kept their mouths shut. The Lucchese Family funneled a $500,000 bribe to the presiding judge to quash the charges--and to this day The Pierre Hotel caper remains unsolved. A suspenseful narrative of Mafia intrigue, police corruption, and personal betrayal--which concludes with a poignant love affair--this is the true story of the most famous hotel robbery in American history.

Reviews
The Lufthansa Heist is an amazing, in-depth look at one of the most notorious heists in American history., The Lufthansa Heist is an amazing, in-depth look at one of the most notorious heists in American and Queens history., "If you loved the television series Mad Men, hanker for a time when jewel thieves were referred to as "gentlemen," and wish all business lunches revolved around three or more martinis, then it's likely you'll find something to like in this outrageous true life tale.", Daniel Simone has done it again with his latest outstanding tale. This literary work had all of the ingredients of a major blockbuster. The perfect book, about the perfect crime!, Simone tells this engrossing tale directly, and he is one helluva writer. Like many of the most compelling true crime tales, the distinction between cops and robbers is blurry at best. Fine reading., "If you loved the television series Mad Men , hanker for a time when jewel thieves were referred to as "gentlemen," and wish all business lunches revolved around three or more martinis, then it's likely you'll find something to like in this outrageous true life tale.", Written in a sensational and lurid style, reminding me of an early Mickey Spillane crime thriller, the book recounts the detailed planning of the robbery, the robbery itself and the bloody aftermath. A tale of mendacity, greed and violence.
