Description

From the Edgar Award and Arthur Ellis Award nominated author of Ragged Lake comes the third instalment in the Frank Yakabuski series

In the final scene of Cape Diamond, millions of dollars' worth of diamonds went missing, which is where Ron Corbett's latest novel begins. When rumours spread that they were buried on Mission Road, an old logging trail outside the town, people swarm to the area, setting up temporary camps and searching for fortune. But when a known murderer shows up, the real mystery begins. Detective Frank Yakabuski must juggle a 21st-century diamond rush, killers on the run, and his ex-cop dad, in this third book in the series.

'Yakabuski, a senior detective in the Springfield Regional Police Service, stands tall throughout as he investigates kidnapping, murder, extortion, and more.' Publishers Weekly
