Chocolate Diamonds - Paperback

by Alec Peche (Author)

A diamond store owner collapses in a Belgian restaurant, gasping for air-supposedly the victim of a nut allergy. But what if that allergic reaction wasn't accidental?

Dr. Jill Quint, forensic pathologist, vintner, and amateur sleuth, is in Antwerp for what's supposed to be a relaxing vacation with her three closest friends. Museums, waffles, and Belgian beer-not murder-are on the itinerary.

But when the woman dies in the hospital shortly after a wild ambulance ride, Jill's instincts kick in. The autopsy reveals something far more sinister than a food allergy. Poison, deception, and the shadowy world of the diamond trade collide, dragging Jill and her friends into a lethal game they never signed up for.

What secrets lie beneath Antwerp's polished façade? Who profits from silence-and who is willing to kill to keep it?

Join Jill as she teams up with Belgian authorities and Interpol in a race against time to expose a chilling conspiracy in CHOCOLATE DIAMONDS-book two in the gripping Jill Quint, MD, forensic mystery series.
