Erin Shane Windsor is left a legendary diamond mine in western Australia by a great-uncle she never even knew she had. But the old man took the secret of the mine's location to his grave. All he left behind were cryptic clues written in verse -- and some very dangerous enemies who'd like nothing better than to claim the mine themselves. To help her, Erin hires Cole Blackburn, a geologist with a mysterious past who has his own reasons for wanting to find the treasure. From glamorous San Francisco and London to the hauntingly beautiful Australian outback, this sensational romantic thriller takes you on an unforgettable roller-coaster ride.
Just added the electronic version of this book to my Nook. This book is one I tend to reread at least once a year, it calls to me from the bookshelf. While all the books in this series are great reads this one is just a fabulous read and never gets old. The setting, the industry, the intrigue, ahh...bliss!
Very good book, interesting, holds your interest. About the Diamond Cartel - originally issued in 1993 as The Diamond Tiger under the name of Ann Maxwell.
