Sidney Sheldon (1917-2007) was an American author of crime fiction and thrillers. He started out working on B-movies in Hollwood and writing musical for Broadway. He would eventually begin writing novels and would quickly start making the New York Times Bestseller List on a regular basis. Sheldon would pass away in 2007 from pneumonia at age 89.

Sidney Sheldon wrote his first novel in 1969, The Naked Face. It would be published the following year. For that novel, he would be nominated for the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best First Novel.

    The first book I ever read was about a boy in the desert who you think has died but didn’t . He worked in diamond mines and eventually tried to smuggle diamonds out of the mines . He was near
    the ocean and I can’t remember all of the book. He and his friends were running from men that worked in the mines. Think a movie was made out of the book. Please help, been trying to find answer for years. Think book was written in the late 60’s or early 70’s.

    The first Sidney Sheldon book I read started with a person (woman?) in the desert or desolate land. Vultures were circling her maybe starting to peck at her. DOES ANYONE KNOW THE TITLE? I picked it up from my mom, so maybe 1965 to 1980. Maybe about diamonds. It’s driving me bonkers. Just read Are You Afraid of the Dark.
