Gerald A. Browne wrote fourteen novels between 1968 and 1999, specializing in high-stakes thrillers centered on elaborate heists and the precious gem trade. His breakthrough came with 11 Harrowhouse in 1972, a novel about a diamond heist that became a hit film. Green Ice followed in 1978, another gem-world thriller that was also adapted for the screen.
Browne had a fascination with the jewelry industry that ran through much of his work, from 18mm Blues to Stone 588 to West 47th. His novels combined meticulous research into the gem trade with fast-paced plotting and colorful characters. Though his output slowed after the 1990s, his early thrillers remain favorites among fans of heist fiction.
