A woman, a hand, a diamond? Mystery! At least for Isobel Van Dursan, the peripatetic "hit-woman" who continuously finds herself embroiled in murders, by both her own hand and others. A diamond ring is the focus of this new novel from Ann Blair Kloman, carrying the reader from Newport, RI, to Bainbridge Island, WA, and Old Lyme, CT, before returning to Isobels home base of Elmore Harbor, Maine.

This crime novel is centred around a mysterious and seemingly inpenitrable haunting gothic mansion set in 300 acres of rugged and wind-torn Cumbrian coastline. A series of unexplained deaths lead the investigating team to believe that these are related to a large drug smuggling operation, but as the investigation progresses it appears to lead to government conspiracy and a trade far more sinister.
