The Great Pearl Heist

On the 16th of July, 1913, an exquisite string of pale pink pearls — the most expensive necklace of its kind — is stolen while on its way back to London from Paris. But how? Who could possibly pull off a heist so audacious? Detective Inspector Alfred Ward suspects it to be the work of one man: his nemesis, Joseph Gizzard — the leader of a vast criminal network in London, and a master jewel thief. The case revives an ongoing battle between leading detective and expert criminal. In a long game of cat and mouse, will DI Ward recover the pearls before they're split up and sold off? And is this the case which will finally see him bring his old adversary, Joseph Gizzard, to justice? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
