An American Library Association Notable Book
When he proposed to his girlfriend, Tom Zoellner gave what is
expected of every American man--a diamond engagement ring. But when
the relationship broke apart, he was left with a used diamond that
began to haunt him. His obsession carried him around the globe;
from the "blood diamond" rings of Africa; to the sweltering
polishing factories of India; to mines above the Arctic Circle; to
illegal diggings in Brazil; to the London headquarters of De Beers,
the secretive global colossus that has dominated the industry for
more than a century and permanently carved the phrase "A diamond is
forever" on the psyche. An adventure story in the tradition of
Susan Orlean's "The Orchid Thief, ""The Heartless Stone" is a
voyage into the cold heart of the world's most unyielding gem.
