Synopsis

Belgium, 1940, during the German invasion. Camille Bonnet accepts an impossible challenge: steal the most valuable industrial diamonds in the world from an Antwerp bank before the Germans get them.
 
Needed for advanced technology the Allied war effort demands, the diamonds are secured in an impregnable basement vault. As Germans swarm the city, Camille sneaks into Antwerp, breaches the vault, and steals the diamonds. Her escape launches the most intense hunt in military history, almost certain to fail.
 
Chased by allies, enemies, crooks, and con artists, she confronts a complex cast of characters: a Gestapo major who hates people but loves animals, a drunken doctor who lost his wife and daughter in an accident, a Parisian housewife linked to the upper echelons of the Nazi Party, and an American double agent.
 
Her mission is to deliver the diamonds to Paris before the Germans capture France... and untangle friend from foe while doing so.
 
A historical thriller with non-stop action, John Anthony Miller's 'All That Glitters' is a story of love, honor, intrigue, and betrayal.

    "It's absolutely delightful, and I would recommend it to anyone who's a fan of Sarah Caudwell, or Agatha Christie, or anyone who loves really clever British murder mysteries set in the '20s." - Gillian Flynn, international bestselling author of Gone Girl. 
      
    After eight years in South Africa, Charles Knox returns to England a wealthy man, determined to put his past behind him. But when he is invited to Sissingham Hall, the Norfolk home of Sir Neville Strickland, he finds that the past is already waiting for him in the form of Rosamund, Sir Neville’s beautiful wife—and Charles’s former fiancée. 
      
    For Charles the weekend is a chance to re-establish his position in society, but from the very first evening tensions start to gather. Rosamund still attracts him more than he likes, Sir Neville is troubled, and every guest at Sissingham seems to be hiding something. 
      
    Then Sir Neville is found dead in his study. Was the culprit an outsider—or someone in the house? As suspicion begins to fall on one guest after another, Charles joins forces with the perceptive Angela Marchmont in an effort to solve the mystery. But as the investigation deepens, old affections and divided loyalties draw him into danger, and he soon realises that the truth may demand a terrible sacrifice. 
      
    A classic 1920s country-house murder mystery, perfect for fans of traditional British detective fiction.

    The car fire didn't kill Navajo Tribal Policeman Delbert Nez—a bullet did. And the old man in possession of the murder weapon is a whiskey-soaked shaman named Ashie Pinto. Officer Jim Chee is devastated by the slaying of his good friend Del,  
    and confounded by the prime suspect's refusal to utter a single word of confession or denial. 
     
    Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn believes there is much more to this outrage than what appears on the surface, as he and Jim Chee set out to unravel a complex weave of greed and death that involves a historical find and a lost fortune. But the hungry  
    and mythical trickster Coyote is waiting, as always, in the shadows to add a strange and deadly new twist.

    Jeff Morrison thought he'd found everything he'd been searching for in Bali. 
    Love. Opportunity. A second chance at life. 
    He was wrong about all of it. 
    The Instagram romance that felt like fate. The devoted wife who seemed too good to be true.

    Now he's fighting for survival. His money is gone. He's facing false criminal charges.  
    The woman he married has disappeared. And the ruthless syndicate behind it all wants him silenced, broken, or dead. 
    With nowhere to turn in a country where the law can be bought, and the mafia operates openly, Jeff must outsmart predators who've made a fortune destroying lives like his. 
    Based on true events, YOU WILL DIE IN BALI reveals the nightmare hidden behind Bali's postcard-perfect beaches—and one man's desperate fight to escape with his life.
