Did you know that Dallas was plagued by an elusive jewel thief who stole millions of dollars of fine jewelry in the 1950s and 1960s?
Join the Friends of the Dallas Public Library for an elegant evening with celebrated author Rena Pederson, whose latest work, The King of Diamonds: The Search for the Elusive Texas Jewel Thief, has captured the attention of Dallas literary enthusiasts and history buffs since its release.
The event marks the kickoff of the Friends’ 75th anniversary celebration, marking 75 years of support for the Dallas Public Library and its vital literacy and community programs.
Guests will enjoy a seated dinner and an engaging presentation of Pederson’s latest work at the Hamon Atrium at the Dallas Museum of Art. Pederson, who conducted some of the research and writing for her book at the Dallas Public Library, will share insights from her time delving into the history of Dallas.
