Insurance investigator Brian Brett is assigned the Claassen jewellery case. A million dollar heist of high profile ice. Not the first big case but one that takes him to Johannesburg, South Africa to solve it.

The case starts out straight forward but then takes some wild and sharp turns. A ready candidate replies to the reward offered for information and recovery of the jewels, but a hitch develops when it is discovered that $90,000 worth of the jewellery is missing and no one seems to know where it is.

Add to this mix an exotic nightclub dancer that distracts Brett's mind, his penchant for dry martinis and Mrs. Claassen's provocative social-secretary to the mix and Brett becomes a very busy man!

Written in the style of Chandler, Hammett and the like and it turns out to be a Goodread. ( )
