The Yellow Diamond

Detective Superintendent George Quinn ¿ Mayfair resident and dandy with a razor-sharp brain ¿ has set up a new police unit, dedicated to investigating the super-rich. When he is shot in mysterious circumstances, DI Blake Reynolds is charged with taking over. But Reynolds hadn''t bargained for Quinn''s personal assistant ¿ the flinty Victoria Clifford ¿ who knows more than she''s prepared to reveal ...The trail left by Quinn leads to a jewellery theft, a murderous conspiracy among some of the most glamorous (and richest) Russians in London ¿ and the beautiful Anna, who challenges Reynolds'' professional integrity. Reynolds and Clifford must learn to work together fast ¿ or risk Quinn''s fate.Set in the heart of twenty-first-century Mayfair, a world of champagne, Lamborghinis and Savile Row suits, The Yellow Diamond is a brilliant new venture from one of our best loved crime authors ¿ meticulously plotted, wonderfully humane and hugely enjoyable.
