It should have been the start of a perfect sojourn in
Provence. Kick Keswick has just settled down to a warm
chocolate soufflé with a meltingly delicious Grand Marnier
sauce and a small glass of Armanac when she receives
startling news: The personal jewels of the Queen of England
have gone missing. And she wants Kick to get them back.
Most of the world knows Kick as an expert in jewels and
antiquities, having been the right hand at Ballantine &
Company Auctioneers in London, but others know Kick as the
world’s finest jewel thief, a woman who can stand out in a
crowd at will, but who can also blend in when she wants to.
Kick now desires nothing now more than a quiet life, but
Her Majesty requests her expertise (and Kick’s vanity is
more than tickled). So the chase is on, in a race that
takes her from Provence to Paris, London, St. Moritz, and
Milan---and puts all her wiles and talents to the test as
she faces a thief whose skills match her own. And with Kick
Keswick on the case, there will be trouble afoot---of the
multifaceted kind.... With sophistication, wit, and insider details, Perfect is a
madcap adventure that takes you on a quest for the things
that make life worth living...or at least wirth talking
about.
