The Diamond from the Sky

Summary

A cursed cabochon, said to have been cleaved from the crown of a fallen star, becomes the magnetic north for every glittering delusion the Stanley bloodline can conjure. Over twenty-three feverish episodes, the jewel ricochets from heiress to hobo, from circus trapeze to ocean liner bulkhead, dragging bastard sons, secret priests, and a panther-eyed adventuress through a labyrinth of forged wills, opium visions, and cliff-edge revelations. Each twist strips another layer of gilded varnish off the Gilded Age, until the diamond itself dissolves into a mirage of American ambition—priceless, poisonous, and ultimately hollow.
