All That Glitters

John Anthony Miller

Sinopse

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.

June Yi, of Yi’s Tea and Bakery, is a serious businesswoman well-known for her heartlessness. But June meets her match when she rear-ends the Cadillac belonging to Mah Jong lover Mildred “Millie” Mao.

The evidence suggests that she was electrocuted while having a foot bath, and all eyes are on June. Can Lana find a way to solve this case before another fatality occurs in Asia Village?

Yet, even the looming threat of Skinny Jim won't stop her from finding ways to put her new inheritance to good use. But when one of her philanthropist friends is found dead in what police say was a robbery gone wrong, she's certain he was murdered, and she thinks she knows who did it. To find out, she'll need the help of the man whose proposal she rejected—a man she is beginning to think she can't live without. 
 
 
 
V.T. Wyatt would love nothing more than to win Samantha over, but first he needs to keep her alive—which would be a lot easier if she didn't walk headlong into danger.
