Green Emeralds and Heist Club — Linda McKown

Sandra Delray knew her therapy sessions weren't working. She went to her second grief and support group where she ran into women like herself. They formed their own club. Sandra began formulating a plan to enhance their lives. She convinced the women a heist would make them feel better. She knew an elderly woman who would be showing her emerald and diamond jewelry at a show in a hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sandra's club began casing two casinos. She ran into the first hotel manager, Craig Connor, who became suspicious of the women, especially Ms. Delray. There was something about her he couldn't quite forget. When Sandra left his hotel, she looked at his security camera and dared him to follow. Craig's interest increased after Ms. Kendrell's thirty-five-million-dollars in jewelry were stolen before the show started. The luxurious hotel for the show was directly across the street from his hotel. The coincidence was too close. He decided to find the leader of the club.
