Synopsis

"Smashingly good, action-packed."―Publishers Weekly STARRED review
"Every element of this rollicking adventure shines."―Booklist STARRED review
In Pottsville, Pennsylvania, young Doug Pearce, just fired from his steady job in the brewery, has never strayed far from home. But he's always been fascinated by stories of his Uncle Russ, the family black sheep murdered in Singapore in 1948. In comes a letter from an old friend of his dead uncle inviting him to Toronto. On arrival, Doug learns that wealthy and glamorous Edna has an agenda: she's assembled enough clues to solve the murder and recover a legendary red diamond Russ was thought to be smuggling.
Doug, nervous but game, agrees to play detective. But by the end of his first day in Casablanca, Doug knows he's made a mistake. While he meets people eager to help―a retired museum curator, a beautiful and self-absorbed heiress, and her elderly father, a colleague of Russell Pearce―it becomes clear that someone else is looking for the diamond.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

When he’s not traveling the globe in the search of exotic, tax-deductible settings for his mysteries, Charles Benoit, a former high school teacher, likes to spend his time scuba diving and attempting to play the saxophone. Charles’ Franklin Award-winning debut, Relative Danger, was nominated for an Edgar™ and a Barry™. The Denver Post called Out of Order (2006) “the kind of book Alfred Hitchcock would have filmed.”  His third mystery, Noble Lies, is a post-Tsunami missing person adventure (2008) and is the darling of fans and critics alike, pulling in yet another stared review from Publishers Weekly.
