When motorized transportation ended the need for drayage animals, Otis's son, Vincent, moved to Memphis. There, he and \u003cem\u003ehis\u003c\/em\u003e son, Palmer, prospered with investments in residential and commercial properties in the Bluff City. The three Bigeloes were also collectors of loose, cut, flawless diamonds that were stored in a vault room above the penthouse level of one of their properties; The Exchange Building in downtown Memphis where fourth generation Jack Bigeloe and his mother, Lottie, lived in separate suites at opposite ends of the 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e floor. For as long as his mother lived Jack was denied access to the diamonds and the Bigeloe estate. This hostility ramped up when Lottie's maintenance man\/caretaker, Martin Sturling, died while planning to steal the diamonds. When Jack discovered the plot, 20 years in the Army and six as a private investigator had not prepared him for the events of that 1994 Easter weekend when his world exploded.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lee Arnoult","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45134671052951,"sku":"9781733769105","price":1155.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781733769105.webp?v=1767908071","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-exchange-9781733769105","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
