    Diamonds are a boys best friend                                                             The summary of the story is as follows:       After serving a lengthy prison sentence, aging criminal mastermind Harry Botts is released and reunites with his wife, Theresa, who has spent his incarceration expanding their criminal empire. She presents him with an audacious plan: stealing a collection of rare pink diamonds worth £437 million, set to be exhibited at Asprey, a high-end London jeweler. Recognizing this as the ultimate heist—one that could secure their retirement—Harry assembles his old crew: Tommy Morrison (electronics expert), Marcus Williams (muscle and logistics), Lily Chen (forger), Sandra Fletcher (social infiltrator), Eddie Kowalski (getaway driver), and Reggie Thompson (fence). 
    The crew meticulously plans the heist, opting to intercept the diamonds during transport rather than breaking into Asprey. They create flawless synthetic replicas to swap with the real diamonds, ensuring the theft goes unnoticed long enough for them to disappear. Sandy gathers intelligence through her high-society connections, while Tommy devises a way to bypass the shipment’s advanced tracking systems. The team identifies a construction zone on the A4 as the perfect spot to stage the heist, using a traffic delay as cover. 
    On the day of the heist, they successfully intercept the Brink’s armored truck, disable its security, and replace the diamonds with fakes in under twelve minutes. The real diamonds are hidden, and the crew disperses, waiting to see if their deception holds. Weeks pass without detection, but tensions rise as the immense wealth strains their loyalty. Suspicions grow, and the crew fractures—some flee abroad, while others scheme to take larger shares. 
    Ultimately, Harry outmanoeuvres them all. While his crew members meet varying fates—some arrested, others dead or in hiding—Harry stays in London, using his cut to establish a legitimate jewelry business as cover.
