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?

Pretty silly, starting with pun in title
Love Leighann Dobbs. Her characters are always great, and always hard to put down, page turners.
I really like Leighann Dobbs’ books but didn’t like this as well as the others. I will read the next in the series and will probably like it better.
I enjoyed this book and really like this authors books.
Highly Recommend. Keeps your attention.
Was a witty and somewhat comical read. Simply enjoyable read.
Sloppily written. No character development. Ridiculous plot line. Unnecessary side ‘mini-plots’ that added nothing to the pace or progress of the story. I’m a sucker for Cozy Mysteries, and never expect Pulitzer material, but this was a real stinker.
Somewhat predictable outcome but an entertaining read.
Decent mystery. But having read others of her works, I found the premise, locations, and action a stretch. Hate to discourage a writer’s expanding her horizons- but I’ll be looking forward to reading her work set closer to home.
I loved this book so much that as soon as I finished reading it I went and bought the second book in the series and read it in one shot. The characters are great and the plot is very imaginative and entertaining. I can’t wait for more in the series!
I had a hard time turning off my Kindle! I thought about the characters when I wasn’t reading this story! Magnificent story line and characters! Cannot wait to read the next book!! Leeann Dobbs never disappoints!!! Excellent author!!
I loved it from the first chapter one.
I love pretty much anything Leighann Dobbs writes.
This is a great read and I highly recommend this book to others.
Yes, I would read it again.
Easy to read and catchy characters.
Lots of interesting twists
On a river cruise and it fit the the bill!
Haven’t completed book yet. It has a slow start and has not pulled me in.
A little bit too far fetched, but I read it all.
