Back in print, the first Emma Rhodes novel. With her impeccable manners, a wardrobe to die for, and the perfect combination of beauty and brains, no one can confuse Emma Rhodes with a run-of-the-mill investigator. She prefers to think of herself as a “private resolver,” a person the rich and famous can turn to when a problem needs to be resolved quickly and quietly. All it takes is $20,000 and two weeks’ time for Emma to prove her worth. So far her record is perfect. But when Emma thwarts the kidnapping of one of Belgium’s royal family, she becomes the unlikely target of Middle Eastern zealots.
