The prospect of acquiring seven exceedingly rare sapphires generates more than enough temptation, danger, and desire to power the complex plot of this new thriller by New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Lowell. The gems, known as the Seven Sins, represent the opportunity of a lifetime to jewel cutter Kate Chandler, but when her most trusted courier goes missing, along with the jewels, it's time to take action. Kate's ploy to recover the jewels, however, attracts the suspicion of the FBI, which assigns Special Agent Sam Groves to watch Kate. Soon this unlikely couple is teaming up in the field and off, but the closer they get to solving the crime, the greater the danger for Kate.
