With many of its pits now deemed "overmined" and abandoned, American journalist Matthew Gavin Frank sets out across the infamous Diamond Coast to investigate an illicit trade that supplies a global market. Immediately, he is intrigued by the ingenious methods used in facilitating smuggling--particularly the illegal act of sneaking carrier pigeons onto mine property, affixing diamonds to their feet, and sending them into the air."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 364.1336 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1336 Frank Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1336 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1336 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
