I just read this great book The River of Doubt. It was about Teddy Roosevelt and this ill fated expedition to chart an uncharted river in the Amazon. They lost almost all their provisions, the president was injured, and it turns out one of their crew was a murderer since there was a murder. And the most amazing thing was that it true. It was fascinating and really fast paced. Do you have anything to recommend that is like that?
This person clearly likes non-fiction with a bit of a historical mystery thrown in.. I would try "Devil in the White City" by Larson, probably "Suspicions of Mr. Whicher" by Summerscale and the "Girls of Muder City" by Perry.
I may throw in Flawless by Selby - this was a more contemporary Diamond Heist, but was full of action and really told you a lot about the Diamond industry and may appeal as something similar enough but could steer the reader to a new direction.
