Erika Rosenthal has always been secretive with her friend
and neighbor,
Detective Inspector Gemma James, about her past, except for
one telling
detail: She and her long-dead husband, David, came to London as
refugees from Nazi Germany. But now the elderly woman needs
Gemma's
help. A unique piece of jewelry stolen from her years ago has
mysteriously turned up at a prestigious London auction
house. Erika
believes the theft may be tied to her husband's death, which
had always
been assumed a suicide.
Gemma has a tough
challenge. She must
navigate the shadowy and secretive world of London's monied
society to
discover the jewelry's connection to David's murderer.
However, the
cold case needs to be put back on the books and possibly
into the hands
of her partner, Duncan Kincaid. When a second, present-day
murder kicks
the investigation into high gear, Gemma becomes more
determined to
exact justice for Erika—in a case that will have lasting
repercussions.
