'A smashingly good, action-packed first novel'
This review is available to non-members for a limited time. For access to our digital magazine, free books,and other benefits, become a member today.

This debut novel is heavy on the fun and light on the suspense.  Our young hero, Doug, is a brewery worker from Pottstown, Pennsylvania, until, at short notice, he finds himself sacked from his dead-end job and on the trail of a fabulous diamond, stolen by his long-dead uncle  - the bad sheep of the family - who was murdered many years earlier.

This review first ran in the June 1, 2005 issue of BookBrowse Recommends.
