Hilly Walker is living a quiet, fulfilling, and somewhat dull life in Zurich. But after a career as an army officer and Detroit PD detective, maybe somewhat dull is exactly what she needs . . . that is, until she gets a call from an old friend, and Hilly realizes the adventure's not over yet.
Diamond magnate Anton Epstein has a hunch, and if she comes back for one last job, Hilly could solve the old case that's resurfaced. A recent filming of Antiques Roadshow has given Epstein and fellow magnate Ray Klein reason to believe that a lost Incan jewel known as The Mistress isn't so lost after all.
Who has the artifact is no longer in question, but finding the missing emerald remains a task the two men need Hilly to take. She's half-certain this mission is nothing more than a wild goose chase, but Hilly is fascinated by the centuries-old tale and decides to follow its trail no matter where it could end.
As the mystery unravels further with every stop on Hilly's journey, the story of The Mistress takes her back to the beginning: where the emerald came from, the people who passed it along, and the lives it shaped. The clues history has to offer lead Hilly on a thrilling international ride full of intrigue and danger-and, if she can make it through this, The Mistress may just change Hilly's life too.
