About The Dead Neighbor's Diamond: Thief à la Femme, Book 6 (Unabridged)

The neighbor is dead. A diamond is missing. A clear-cut case of robbery/homicide, or is it something a lot more personal? On an otherwise typical Sunday night, infamous Thief à la Femme Rayla Rousseau-Keltry and her FBI husband have the grave misfortune of finding their across-the-hall neighbor shot to death in his condo. A diamond simulant—in truth, a superb specimen of an extraordinarily large natural moissanite gem—is perched near the fingers of his lifeless, outstretched hand. Without a shred of doubt the man has been murdered, the unlikely but eminently successful crime-solving duo of vigilante thief and federal agent set out to find answers. But the more they dig, the more questions they unearth. Was Grady Dunstan murdered because the gem he possessed is not the diamond it’s believed to be? Might the Alaska diamond consortium that handled the cutting, polishing, and selling of the allegedly missing diamond be considerably south of honorable? Does the seven-plus-decades gap between when the moissanite gem presumably was discovered and when it appeared beside the dearly departed Grady have any bearing? Was there ever a diamond, or is the moissanite jewel alone the key to both mysteries? And how do Grady’s dog and cat play into providing clues for their master’s untimely demise? A first-time whodunit murder mystery combines with the usual thieving vigilante justice in this sixth installation of the Thief à la Femme series. If you like enchanting heroes, breathtaking twists and turns, and light-hearted, meant for justice theft, then you’ll adore J.A. Devereaux’s wild ride.
