Killer Diamonds, by Rebecca Chance, is centred around a screen beauty's jewellery collection. The summary says: "After decades in the spotlight as an Oscar-winning film star and famous beauty, Vivienne Winter is one of the most recognisable women on the planet. When she decides to auction her multi-million-dollar jewellery collection for charity, there is no shortage of people eager to buy a piece of her incredible history.
Young, ambitious Christine Smith is a jewellery expert working for a centuries-old auction house, but in a world of aristocratic snobs, her working-class origins are holding her back. She's desperate to secure the sale of Vivienne Winter's gem collection: it's bound to be the biggest auction since Elizabeth Taylor's. However, meeting the Hollywood star is just the first hurdle Christine has to jump ...
Vivienne's handsome, spoilt, sexy playboy grandson Angel is the heir to her fortune. The anger and resentment he feels towards his grandmother for selling what he counted on as his inheritance sets in motion a series of events with deadly consequences. Angel is totally unscrupulous, and no one will come out unscathed. Family secrets cut sharper than diamonds ..." Killer Diamonds is out in July 2016.
