Jewel Theft in the Green Vault

The legendary Green Vault in Dresden has been hit by thieves. Unjustly under suspicion: art detective Adrian Falke, who is doing everything in his power to recover the stolen diamonds and apprehend the real thieves.

The coup only lasted five minutes. A few blows with the axe were enough, the security glass shattered, and the precious jewels disappeared. Professor and art detective Adrian Falke falls under suspicion after he took a conspicuous interest in the security measures just the day before. But Falke is innocent. Together with the director of the Green Vault, he sets out to find the legendary diamonds. Hot on the heels of the real thieves, a breathless chase begins that takes them from Hamburg to Paris to Antwerp and London.

A fast-paced True Crime adventure set between the elite art scene and the clan environment—inspired by one of the most spectacular jewel heists in the history of Germany.
