Great Diamond Syndicate

Nicholas Carter

A young man arrives at Nick Carter's door with blood on his hands and a story that will unravel everything. His father left him a fortune in South African diamonds. But before he could even hold them, intruders broke into his uncle's house, murdered the old man in cold blood, brutalized his cousin, and vanished with the stones. Now the question isn't just who did it, but how did they know? The diamonds had only just arrived. Someone close is lying, or the killer is closer than anyone dares to imagine. Nick Carter, America's greatest detective, must sift through deception and greed to find a killer who kills without hesitation. This is vintage detective fiction at its purest: a locked-room mystery wrapped in family tragedy, where every relative becomes a suspect and truth is the rarest gem of all.
