When a Riviera socialite's diamonds are stolen-the latest in a string of seemingly unconnected but increasingly audacious jewelry heists across France-Peter Mayle's bon vivant and master sleuth, Sam Levitt, and his partner, Elena Morales, are soon on the case. In these "perfect crimes," Sam sees the hand of a master criminal, but as he and Elena dig deeper, they begin to realize just how dangerous it may be to pursue the truth. In the midst of all the excitement, there's a house to renovate, rosé to share, and feasts of the Provençal summer bounty to enjoy-giving The Diamond Caper all the hallmarks of another delightfully sun-splashed Peter Mayle adventure.
