The Black Canary Diamond

Chief detective of the Philadelphia homicide squad, Jake Guiliani lives and breathes his job-ridding the streets of undesirables and wanted criminals.

And when his current flame, the stunning and self-possessed Fiona Tate, is murdered right before his eyes, Jake swears to bring her killer to justice. While piecing together the fragments of this mysterious case, he realizes her most recent acquisition, the Black Canary Diamond, has gone missing as well.

Desperate to find answers and dull his anguish over losing Fiona, Jake tries to make sense of a violent and seemingly disjointed case. As he begins to connect the links, Jake uncovers the vanished diamond's storied history and the far-reaching effects it's had on those who have possessed it-and pretty soon he's the one tangled up with one of the most haunted and notoriously evil pieces of jewelry the world has ever seen.

The first in the Jake Guiliani Mystery Series, The Black Canary Diamond is a pulse-pounding murder mystery that takes readers on a thrilling adventure brimming with romance, intrigue, suspense, and an overshadowing evil that threatens to ruin everyone and everything it encounters.
