She pushed the edge of legal in her hunt for priceless antiquities. He’s a special agent out to stop her. Betrayals of the past turn life-threatening for both as they battle an unexpected enemy. “Badass characters and action-packed scenes take you across the world, there is no time to get bored or lose focus.” Brazen: Riki Maddox is not your average tomb-raiding treasure hunter.

To thwart their quest to recapture World War II loot initially stolen by Japanese forces, she puts herself in constant danger–and in the sights of a man as driven and as daring as she is. Dauntless: Working for the Department of Homeland Security, Special Agent Dallas Landry is a rare breed: an academic with an unmatched thirst for adventure. He had a perfect success rate recovering stolen art and antiquities–until he came up against a menace known as Riki Maddox. She’s tarnished his reputation and stopping her becomes his number one priority. Enemies: The two will cross paths once again in Australia–on a quest for the legendary Phantom Pearl, a priceless mammoth tusk carved by 15th century monks. Barely one step ahead of the Yakuza, it’s a three-way race to recover the long-lost treasure. One Riki is hell-bent to win. But playing games against a federal agent like Dallas will cost more than her freedom. The chase will demand she risk her life, but promises something sweeter than revenge as reward. Phantom Pearl is the third stand-alone book in the Jewel Intrigue series, a tale of determined rivals, lost history, hidden betrayal, and a badass heroine carrying a grudge.

Blood and Diamonds
Author: Steven Press
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674916492
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Diamonds have long been bloody. A new history shows how Germany’s ruthless African empire brought diamond rings to retail display cases in America—at the cost of African lives. Since the late 1990s, activists have campaigned to remove “conflict diamonds” from jewelry shops and department stores. But if the problem of conflict diamonds—gems extracted from war zones—has only recently generated attention, it is not a new one. Nor are conflict diamonds an exception in an otherwise honest industry. The modern diamond business, Steven Press shows, owes its origins to imperial wars and has never escaped its legacy of exploitation. In Blood and Diamonds, Press traces the interaction of the mass-market diamond and German colonial domination in Africa. Starting in the 1880s, Germans hunted for diamonds in Southwest Africa. In the decades that followed, Germans waged brutal wars to control the territory, culminating in the genocide of the Herero and Nama peoples and the unearthing of vast mineral riches. Press follows the trail of the diamonds from the sands of the Namib Desert to government ministries and corporate boardrooms in Berlin and London and on to the retail counters of New York and Chicago. As Africans working in terrifying conditions extracted unprecedented supplies of diamonds, European cartels maintained the illusion that the stones were scarce, propelling the nascent US market for diamond engagement rings. Convinced by advertisers that diamonds were both valuable and romantically significant, American purchasers unwittingly funded German imperial ambitions into the era of the world wars. Amid today’s global frenzy of mass consumption, Press’s history offers an unsettling reminder that cheap luxury often depends on an alliance between corporate power and state violence.
