Set in the art world of London, "Brilliant" is a novel of taut suspense and masterful revenge. "Kellogg's sophisticated and lavishly fun tale of greed and daring in the high-stakes auction house world presents a full-figured, tough, and atypical heroine readers will cheer for."--"Booklist." Martin's Press.
An elegant suspense novel set in the art world.
Kick Keswick, once a jewel thief living an exciting double life, has now retired in simple luxury to the south of France. But when an old enemy resurfaces, threatening to expose the countless fake jewels Kick had carefully substituted during her years of secret theft, she is ready to act. Back in London, Kick finds herself with more employment than she bargained for at a company whose status is much more precarious than she’d thought. Her enemy, in disguise, circles ever closer. And a young nun comes to Kick with a mysterious jewel-encrusted figurine and a story of greed and murder. To balance on this high wire, Kick must sneak into an upper-crust wedding in the Italian Alps, break into an ancient castle owned by a very modern murderer, and do it all with her customary panache, style, and grace. Can she keep one step ahead of the most seductively ruthless foe she’s ever encountered?
Kick Keswick--international jewel thief, fabulous dresser, gourmet cook, and woman-about-town--is drawn back into the glamorous, dangerous world of jewels (and the people who covet them).
The author of "Brilliant" returns with the continuing story of Kick Keswick, respectable wife of a Scotland Yard detective by day, and master jewel thief by night. "Fast-paced, atmospheric, and wryly amusing."--"Kirkus Reviews." Martin's Press.
