My guest this week is award-winning author Dean Jobb. He joins me to talk about one of the most colorful criminals of the Jazz Age, Arthur Barry. Barry, who has been called “the greatest jewel thief who ever lived”, was a master burglar who specialized in robbing New York’s wealthiest citizens. Barry would have encounters with a wide array of interesting figures from the 20s and 30s, ranging from the Prince of Wales to investigators working on the Lindbergh Baby kidnapping case.
Dean Jobb’s book, out on June 25, is called “A Gentleman and a Thief: The Daring Jewel Heists of a Jazz Age Rogue.”
