Red Flash
Every sparkle has its shadow, and every secret its price.
Recipient of the Manhattan Book Award Silver Seal for a story that carries a quiet brilliance and leaves its own soft afterglow. Blending mystery, romance, and international suspense, Red Flash—the opening novel of the Gem Provenance Legacy—plunges into the dangerous underworld of rare gemstones, betrayal, and desire.
Spanning decades and continents, this three-book series follows the Stanovic family as they are pulled deeper into the glittering, dangerous world of the international gem trade. What starts with a murdered child and a missing shipment of rare paraíbas soon unravels into a web of obsession, betrayal, and the deadly pursuit of a legendary red diamond whose origins are as mysterious as its curse. Former triathlete Dominick Stanovic stumbles into a violent underworld after discovering the Russian Mafia’s involvement in his nephew’s death. His search for answers reveals his brother Sërg’s ties to the Red Mafia, a Brazilian criminal syndicate, and a stash of vanished tourmalines coveted by men willing to kill — and die — to possess them. Torn between loyalty, forbidden love, and the truth he can no longer ignore, Dominick is thrust into a world where every alliance is dangerous, and every decision has a cost.
From Denver’s historic Capitol Hill to the remote reaches of the Amazon, mayhem and double-crosses abound in this smart, sexy, and suspenseful adventure about an immigrant family’s lust for gems and the rumored discovery of a legendary diamond. Murder, obsession, betrayal, and a missing shipment of rare tourmalines from Brazil will shatter a family’s fragile bonds and push two brothers to the limit. Everyone wants to steal these valuable gemstones – some are willing to kill to do it, others risk their lives trying.
