Rough Cut : Peter a Gray : 9780648378525 : 0648378527 : 05 Jul 2019 : Pink diamonds, the rarest, most expensive diamonds on earth, bring out the worst in people. Desire always... Corruption inevitably... Murder as a matter of course... Charlie Robertson went from penniless Cockney kid dodging the Nazi bombing raids, to successful businessman lying in a coma in St Thomas's hospital in London, all because of pink diamonds.

They also made him half a billion pounds.
