Summary
This modern-day adventure, the final in The Jewel Trilogy, has young, accomplished art historian Michael Bennington off this time to Florence. Here, he views the famed recently-rediscovered Florentine Diamond and soon finds him in yet another thrilling pursuit of a legendary ceremonial sword purported to have belonged to the Emperor Charlemagne himself.

This curious assignment leads Bennington to Germany, and along with a vivacious young co-accomplice named Sabina, he tracks the artifact’s whereabouts first to Munich and Berlin then to Amsterdam on behalf of a 600-year-old secret organization with its roots in the Holy Roman Empire.

The two at last arrive at the Louvre in Paris for a life-and-death finale sure to thrill mystery buffs and satisfy the thirsts of art enthusiasts, as well, as only Bennington’s escapades can do

This is the final installment in the Jewel Trilogy: the first book is The Napoleon Connection (2014), and Carlota's Legacy (2014) is the second.
