    "description": "Kristin Harmel, the New York Timesbestselling author who \u201cis the best there is at sweeping historical drama\u201d (Kelly Harms, author ofThe Seven Day Switch), returns with an electrifying new novel about two jewel thieves, a priceless bracelet that disappears in 1940s Paris, and a quest for answers in a decades-old murder.\n\nColette Marceau has been stealing jewels for nearly as long as she can remember, following the centuries-old code of honor instilled in her by her mother, take only from the cruel and unkind, and give to those in need. Never was their family tradition more important than seven decades earlier, during the Second World War, when Annabel and Colette worked side by side in Paris to fund the French Resistance.\n\nBut one night in 1942, it all went wrong. Annabel was arrested by the Germans, and Colette\u2019s four-year-old sister, Liliane, disappeared in the chaos of the raid, along with an exquisite diamond bracelet sewn into the hem of her nightgown for safekeeping. Soon after, Annabel was executed, and Liliane\u2019s body was found floating in the Seine\u2014but the bracelet was nowhere to be found.\n\nSeventy years later, Colette\u2014who has \u201credistributed\u201d $30 million in jewels over the decades to fund many worthy organizations\u2014has done her best to put her tragic past behind her, but her life begins to unravel when the long-missing bracelet suddenly turns up in a museum exhibit in Boston. If Colette can discover where it has been all this time\u2014and who owns it now\u2014she may finally learn the truth about what happened to her sister. But she isn\u2019t the only one for whom the bracelet holds answers, and when someone from her childhood lays claim to the diamonds, she\u2019s forced to confront the ghosts of her past as never before. Against all odds, there may still be a chance to bring a murderer to justice\u2014but first, Colette will have to summon the courage to open her own battered heart",
