The Blue Diamond

De: Salem Saleem

Narrado por: Brad Grochowski

Inspired by explosive real events, The Blue Diamond is a gripping political detective thriller that dives into the shadows of power, greed, and betrayal.

Kriangkrai, a struggling Thai servant, works inside the opulent walls of a Saudi prince’s palace, until one fateful decision changes everything. He steals over 50 kilograms of royal jewelry, including an ultra-rare blue diamond said to be worth millions. But what begins as a desperate act of survival unleashes a storm of deadly consequences.

As Kriangkrai vanishes back into Thailand, Saudi diplomats begin turning up dead, the diamond disappears without a trace, and whispers of corruption climb the ranks of Thai police and government. When the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia quietly dispatches elite investigator Mohammed Saeed Khoja to Bangkok, the mission is clear: recover the jewels and expose the truth, no matter how high the conspiracy goes. But truth comes at a steep price.

This is not just fiction, it’s a reflection of a true international scandal that fractured diplomatic relations between Thailand and Saudi Arabia for over 30 years. Salem Saleem masterfully weaves fact and fiction into a razor-sharp narrative filled with tense interrogations, political gamesmanship, and moral reckoning. Who really stole the blue diamond? Who covered it up? And who must die to keep it hidden?

Perfect for fans of Narcos, House of Cards, and high-stakes crime dramas, The Blue Diamond is more than a mystery, it’s a haunting exploration of justice in a world where power always has the final word.

BORING

Weak story. Read like a high school English assignment. Title was the most interesting part of the book.
