Bon vivant and expert sleuth, Sam Levitt, and his partner in love and intrigue, Elena Morales, return in the latest installment of the delightful, sun-splashed, Provençal Caper series. When a Riviera socialite's diamonds are stolen—the latest in a string of seemingly unconnected, but ever more audacious, jewelry heists across France—Elena flies in to investigate the insurance claim. It's a trip she's more than happy to make, as it gives her a chance to meet up with old friends in Marseilles—and, particularly, with Sam. Once reunited, she and Sam buy the local cottage they've had their eyes on, but Sam isn't entirely distracted by domestic matters. In the pattern of these "perfect crime" heists he's beginning to see a master at work, and he's quickly determined to connect and solve the cases. But as he and Elena dig deeper, they begin to realize just how much is connected...and how dangerous it may be to pursue the whole truth.
