Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Deborah Crombie pens suspenseful English mysteries that have drawn favorable comparisons to the best of P. D. James and Ruth Rendell. Her novel Dreaming of the Bones made the Independent Mystery Booksellers of America’s list of the 100 Best Crime Novels of the 20th Century. This time, Scotland Yard’s Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James delve into a mystery brewing since World War II.
When Dr. Erika Rosenthal fled the chaos of pre-war Berlin, she lost possession of a diamond brooch made by her father, a jeweler whose rare Art Deco pieces are prized by collectors. When the piece finally arrives on the auction block in London—50 years later—Erika enlists her friend Gemma to track down who had been holding it. The plot thickens when Gemma and Duncan discover that people connected to the brooch are dying. As events unfold, an unsolved murder from the past may lie at the heart of it all.

"This story goes back many years to the time before World War II, when Jewish refugees were leaving Germany. Other strands in the story involve Art Deco jewelry, high end auction houses, and of course, murder. A good mystery, but not one of my favorites in the series. Too dark? "
