The Diamond Hunters
When the six legendary Joan of Arc diamonds are stolen from his home, their owner – Theodore Blackwater – contacts Matt Drake’s new agency for help.
It’s a great job for them, and shouldn’t be too difficult, but they don’t yet know that they will come up against one of the hardest opponents of their career. The team jet off to London, Paris, Manchester and Los Angeles, tracking the diamonds down and, in an ironic twist, stealing them back.
But the man who organised the initial theft – Henry Purves – has gifted them to criminal organisations, making Drake’s job even harder. And he never reckoned on the Diamond Hunters. They are new, and they are ruthless, and they will stop at nothing.
In a twist of fate, one simple job quickly becomes three difficult ones. The team has to defeat six criminal organisations, warn off Henry Purves, and then deal with the Diamond Hunters in a final showdown. The team finds itself stretched from all angles.
Can the team survive?

The Diamond Hunters - a review by Rosemary Kenny.
David Leadbeater's 37th Matt Drake international adventure takes you on a hell-for-leather mission impossible, that's anything but to Drake and his team.
The eponymous Diamond Hunters are their ultimate targets, but first, one violent step at a time, they must recover six heisted, historic gems. Once that's completed the dynamic vigilantes must end their vicious enemies' evil reign.
Read The Diamond Hunters right now but be warned - it's unputdownable - you'll read all night!

I love these books but this is boring boring and nothing like how it should be. A shame. I just hope the next one is better and back to normal
