• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

DIAMONDS SO REAL, NO ONE KNOWS THEY'RE FAKE Journalist-turned-sleuth Mimi Rosen is back with another fun and exciting mystery set in New York City's Diamond District. A brilliant scientist has discovered a way to produce synthetic diamonds so close to the real thing, not even incredibly sophisticated equipment can tell them apart from natural gems. But then, the scientist disappears, just as these high-tech imitations begin to turn the diamond market upside down. As Mimi tries to locate the scientist and his mysterious formula, she uncovers a trail of murder and intrigue, where executives double-cross each other and use people as pawns in a deadly game of money and power. A fast-paced adventure ripped from today's headlines, Making a Killing in Diamonds is both a clever, twist-filled mystery as well as a heartfelt look at the ways humans try to hold onto what's true and meaningful in an increasingly fake-filled world.
