Chocolate Diamonds Alec Peche

A diamond store owner goes into anaphylactic shock after eating nuts.




Who is the woman in the Belgian restaurant that the Americans provide with CPR? Was it just a severe nut allergy, or something sinister? If you know you have an allergy to nuts, why would you ever eat chocolate knowing that nuts often contaminate chocolatiers? These are the questions that arise after an autopsy of the woman that makes it alive to the hospital, only to die later.




Jill Quint, MD, is a forensic pathologist, vintner, and future private investigator from California, joins her three friends from Wisconsin in Antwerp, Belgium. In the diamond industry hub of the world, they plan to enjoy their annual girlfriends' vacation exploring the museums, food, and beer of Belgium and the Netherlands.




A chance medical emergency pulls Jill and her friends into a homicide investigation, where they assist the Belgian police and Interpol with uncovering something worth killing for in the diamond industry.




Read CHOCOLATE DIAMONDS for a thrill ride through Belgium and the Netherlands. This is book 2 in the Jill Quint, MD series.
