When a Riviera socialite's diamonds are stolen--the latest in a string
of seemingly unconnected but increasingly audacious jewelry heists
across France--Peter Mayle's bon vivant and master sleuth, Sam Levitt,
and his partner, Elena Morales, are soon on the case. In these "perfect
crimes," Sam sees the hand of a master criminal, but as he and Elena dig
deeper, they begin to realize just how dangerous it may be to pursue the
truth. In the midst of all the excitement, there's a house to renovate,
rosé to share, and feasts of the Provençal summer bounty to
enjoy--giving The Diamond Caper all the hallmarks of another
delightfully sun-splashed Peter Mayle adventure.
