Excerpt:

Inside the tin were two long velvet cases.

“You open them!”

His smile was puzzled since she’d been quite happy to do all the investigating before, without any reference to him.

“What is it?” His words faded as he opened the first – a dark crimson velvet box, the plush so stained with dampness it almost looked white. Most of the loft contents were still in good condition, but this looked to be one of the oldest items they’d uncovered so far.

Keira’s legs trembled. A cool shiver coursed down her spine, the anticipation making the unveiling seem almost creepy.

Summoned to Heidelberg, Keira Drummond is embroiled in the search for extraordinary jewels originally owned by a Mughal Emperor. Who among the descendants of Geertje Hoogeveen-last known owner-can Keira rely on? Distrust among the cousins is rife. Who has hired thugs to tail her and Teun Zeger as they unearth the jewellery? A trail of clues leads to Vienna, Amsterdam, the US - but will the hired gun kill them before they’re successful? Only death reveals family secrets. What’s the ultimate item even more precious than the Mughal jewels? Greed, suspicion, murder are balanced by family loyalty, trust, and love.

“I don’t have a wife, and I sure as hell hadn’t been planning on having one anytime soon.”

Rhia’s lids fluttered. “So you can’t inherit right now? But you could later. If…” Her voice faltered as though it was excruciating to utter the words. “You…er, got married?”

“Bang on,” Luke chuckled.
