X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>New York Times&nbsp\;bestselling author Kr
 istin Harmel returns with a &ldquo\;dazzling diamond of a novel&rdquo\; (H
 azel Gaynor\,&nbsp\;New York Times&nbsp\;bestselling author of&nbsp\;Befor
 e Dorothy) about two jewel thieves\, a priceless bracelet that disappears 
 in 1940s Paris\, and a quest for answers in a decades-old murder.</p>\n<p>
 Colette Marceau has been stealing jewels for nearly as long as she can rem
 ember\, following the centuries-old code of honor instilled in her by her 
 mother\, Annabel: take only from the cruel and unkind\, and give to those 
 in need. Never was their family tradition more important than seven decade
 s earlier\, during the Second World War\, when Annabel and Colette worked 
 side by side in Paris to fund the French Resistance.</p>\n<p>But one night
  in 1942\, it all went wrong. Annabel was arrested by the Germans\, and Co
 lette&rsquo\;s four-year-old sister\, Liliane\, disappeared in the chaos o
 f the raid\, along with an exquisite diamond bracelet sewn into the hem of
  her nightgown for safekeeping. Soon after\, Annabel was executed\, and Li
 liane&rsquo\;s body was found floating in the Seine&mdash\;but the bracele
 t was nowhere to be found.</p>\n<p>Seventy years later\, Colette&mdash\;wh
 o has &ldquo\;redistributed&rdquo\; $30 million in jewels over the decades
  to fund many worthy organizations&mdash\;has done her best to put her tra
 gic past behind her\, but her life begins to unravel when the long-missing
  bracelet suddenly turns up in a museum exhibit in Boston. If Colette can 
 discover where it has been all this time&mdash\;and who owns it now&mdash\
 ;she may finally learn the truth about what happened to her sister. But sh
 e isn&rsquo\;t the only one for whom the bracelet holds answers\, and when
  someone from her childhood lays claim to the diamonds\, she&rsquo\;s forc
 ed to confront the ghosts of her past as never before. Against all odds\, 
 there may still be a chance to bring a murderer to justice&mdash\;but firs
 t\, Colette will have to summon the courage to open her own battered heart
