About the book

One year after thieves vanished from the Louvre with eight priceless pieces of the French crown jewels, the trail has gone cold.

Retired U.S. Marine Robert Hethcoat is in Paris with his wife, Vasnti, and Dale, his remarkable former Ministry of Defence Police detection dog. When a French detective asks for one last favour, Dale discovers the clue everyone else missed.

The hunt takes them from the Louvre’s glittering galleries to the hidden waterways of Paris and a masked ball on the Normandy coast. Someone has hidden the jewels for a year — and someone will stop at nothing to keep them.
