Series: James Cartwright PI Mysteries (Book 3 of 3)

Cartwright's latest case starts off simple enough. Miss Stonewall, from the Mutual Trust Insurance Agency, wants him to track down a missing orangutan. The thing is, as Cartwright explains, he doesn't do orangutans. But when Stonewall offers him a large wad of cash for the job, Cartwright's suspicions are piqued.

Cartwright stumbles across a rare green diamond, setting off a chain of events that lands him in a tangled web of conspiracies.

From the Dirty Wars and Death Squads of Argentina to the greatest diamond heist of the century, to a deadly virus that threatens to wipe out humanity, and to a cold-blooded assassin determined to fulfill his destiny-Cartwright's confronted at every turn in his efforts to solve one of the most tangled and diabolical mysteries of his career.
