"After hearing the story about the disappearance of the 98.98 carat Wittelsbach Emerald my imagination led me to write Emerald, the first in a series of thrillers based on fabulous gemstones. In this suspense novel, two Mossad Case Officers create a unique team to solve the mystery and mayhem linked to this emerald. Emerald has more twists and turns than a Swiss mountain road and around each bend is another fascinating and potentially dangerous character.” The second of the Gemstone Thriller series, Diamond, is soon to be rolling off the press.” “Currently being outlined and researched are hair-raisers about rubies in Myanmar; a sapphire in D.C.; and pearls in Tonga."
Who would have thought that following an exceptionally fine gem’s pilgrimage would result in an intriguing mystery? Obviously Garner Odell Scott did.
EMERALD travels not only through familiar world history from a mine to a museum to a royal family and an auction house, but also into the lives of jewel experts, psychopaths, and super cops. Odell’s research and technical know-how deepens the suspense and keeps the reader eager to follow the romantic and lunatic twists and turns underlying the script like tale to its exciting end. A breath taking journey awaits all who venture beyond the striking cover.
Odell finds the story and the characters and brings us into the story with great skill. I could not put it down! Clearly lots of work to make the story real. I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes mysteries, and goods stories! Susan Mazer Smith
