The Millenia Ruby is stolen from the Ritzholdt Museum and insurance investigator Kate Diamond will stop at nothing to retrieve it … even if it means getting shot at, impersonating an FBI agent and tangling with a live volcano.
Enlisting the aid of her retired jewel thief parents and their band of thieves, safecrackers and con men from the Golden Capers retirement village, Kate arms herself … herself with a variety of gadgets and disguises to follow a trail of clues from icy Antarctica to a desolate tropical island. But she soon finds that what started off as an easy job may end with a deadly twist.
Why is someone going to so much trouble to keep possession of the ruby? And what, exactly, does Kate’s ex-partner, FBI agent Ace Mason, have up his sleeve? Is he really trying to keep her safe as he suggests, or is he simply trying to find the ruby first and take all the credit?
By the time Kate realizes things are not as they seem, she may be in too deep. Will she discover the real hidden agenda behind the theft of the gem before it’s too late?

Fast paced and entertaining
lots of fun to read
This book is a fun, fast-paced read. There are lots of twists and turns, making it an exciting story. Kate Diamond, Gideon, Ace Mason, and the Golden Capers are all enjoyable characters. I am looking forward to reading more in the series.
Couldn’t finish it. Immature writing style that couldn’t hold my attention.
Another great book from L Dobbs!!!
quirky, fun story
It was a quick easy read.
Enjoyed the book
I am an avid fan of Leighann Dobbs and regularly reads her books. This one strayed from her usual writing style and was a really great read. She really thought outside the box with the subject matter.
This was a fast, fun read.
Quick read.
Really lame. Juvenile writing. Waste of time.
Great read!! Love her books!
A light read. Some parts are too predictable, while others are too unbelievable.
I really liked this book. It truly was a page turner. The characters were great. Having two generations working together to solve the crime was wonderful. Love Leighanne Dobbs books.
This is a fun and creative read
Okay, I got this book on a whim and, frankly, I didn’t expect much from it. Boy! Was I wrong! There were twists, turns, plot shifts, and some really fun elements that came out in the story. Maybe it is a _bit_ implausible but, you know what, after I started reading it I just enjoyed the ride and didn’t really care whether or not it was a “reality based” novel.
Some novels I read for historic accuracy and some books I read for information but this is one of those that I read purely for the joy of entertainment and diversion … and it worked well for that purpose. If you are looking for a pleasant read, check out this book.
A great story of a heist filled with twists, turns and gadgets. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Fun to read. Character development kinda shallow. Plot somewhat fantastic.
I really didn’t find much to appreciate in this book. The characters were the usual; the heroine was rather unlikable; the plot wasn’t very interesting; the writing was banal. Barely got thru it and, had it been a book rather than on my kindle I’d have thrown it in the nearest garbage can with joy.
Crazy fun
