Aimsigh é!
When a New York diamond dealer and his wife are found dead in a chilling assassination, and a mysterious gem - the Lucifer Cut - goes missing, U.S. Treasury agent Alex Turner and his lover, the billionaire Russian diamond thief known as Slav Lily, are thrust into a web of global intrigue. Uncertain they can even trust each other, the two find themselves on the trail of a secret so lethal it threatens not only the world diamond trade but the national security of the United States. In a fiction first, diamond expert Matthew Hart tears the curtain from the secretive world of lab-grown diamonds, where master 'chefs' create astonishing gems in the 8,000-degree furnaces of their reactors. Finally one of them makes what no one thought possible - a fake so perfect not even experts can unmask it. But as Alex and Lily soon discover, its allure is even more profound than its beauty as a jewel.
