But when the two get caught up in the malevolent plans of a diamond mogul, everyone’s fate depends upon Isabella.

A tale of loyalty, betrayal …and the painful cost of doing the right thing.
‘A find adventure story that will make readers await the next instalment with bated breath.’
Kirkus Reviews, November 2015
Having endured the rigors of malaria in West Africa, I was completely enthralled by this story.
The characters are well defined and the well-structured story line with its unexpected twists and turns is totally believable, which made it very difficult to put down. The depictions of Indian and colonial life and culture beautifully drawn. An excellent book!
