No matter how far we may wander, Texas lingers with us, coloring our perceptions of the world.
— Elmer Kelton, Texas Western Fiction Author
Next up from the NCHM Book Club: The King of Diamonds by Rena Pederson.
This true crime story of an elusive cat burglar takes us deep into Dallas high society in the 1960s - that same era we have read about in the NCHM Book Club in connection with President Kennedy's assassination. Dallas was home to MANY multi-millionaires during this period, and our elusive jewel thief visited them all, sneaking in and out while his targets were entertaining or even sleeping nearby.
Join us in person on September 29th at 10:30AM to discuss The King of Diamonds, with lunch following the conversation. For those unable to join us in person, we will have a zoom conversation on the afternoon of October 1st at 2:00PM.
Wonder what we have been reading? Take a peek, and then join us at our next meeting!
