Journalist-turned-amateur-sleuth Mimi Rosen is back with her father
Max for another action-packed tale of murder and intrigue in New
York City’s Diamond District.
A Reverend from Africa has found a sparkling $20 million diamond
that he hopes will free his continent from the scourge of blood
diamonds. But this attempt to do good soon turns very bad. After the
diamond is stolen and leads to a series of murders, Mimi discovers both
the diamond and the Reverend have a less-than-sparkling history.
Soon, Mimi is investigating a web of secrets involving a shady billionaire,
a corrupt politician, Africa’s diamond fields, offshore companies, as well
as an activist, filmmaker, computer genius, and police detective who
may or may not be as noble as they appear. Is the prized gem actually a
blood diamond?
