In the Outback, trust is the most valuable gem of all.

As the story opens, US Secret Service Agent Elaine Brogan finds herself reluctantly pulled into the orbit of her nemesis, Giorgio Cattoretti. It starts when a desperate couple, Gareth Martin and Heather Bancroft, show up unannounced at the American Consulate in Marseilles and plead for Elaine's help. They believe that only the notorious Giorgio “The Cat” Cattoretti, who previously owned their diamond-cutting factory, can help them deal with their dishonest Croatian partners.

Elaine is skeptical of their claims about a counterfeit diamond operation involving a high-tech scheme to turn cheap brown diamonds into valuable pink ones. But her expertise in counterfeit paper documents is put to the test as she dives deeper into the investigation, discovering that the fake pink diamonds in question may have been sold even to the U.S. Department of Defense. With her reputation and the stakes higher than ever, Elaine must navigate a web of international deceit, all the while harboring a deep fear that she might get tangled up with the devious Giorgio Cattoretti again.

Joining forces with series favorites Luna Faye, Nick LaGrange, and Dmitry, Elaine travels to the remote mining town of Coober Pedy, Australia, where she must infiltrate the shady Outback Gem Hub and shut down the operation, as well as protect it from Cattoretti. The heat is on as Elaine battles both the harsh Outback environment and treacherous criminals who will stop at nothing to protect their illegal counterfeiting scheme.

Outback Diamonds delivers the trademark suspense, intricate plotting, and beloved characters that have made the Lust, Money & Murder series a global sensation. Don’t miss this latest high-stakes adventure where every twist could mean life or death, and trust is the most valuable gem of all.
