The Expat Affair

Rayna Dumont moves to Amsterdam after a bitter divorce, wanting a fresh start and a bit of adventure. She is not someone who sleeps with men she has just met, but Xander is handsome and successful, and she says yes. The next morning she finds him dead on his shower floor.

The diamonds from his safe, worth millions of dollars, are gone. Rayna is an American expat in a city she barely knows, and she is the last person known to have been with him.

The story runs on two tracks. Willow Prins lives in a lavish home in the middle of the city, and her husband is Xander's former boss and heir to a diamond house. As the police and the press turn toward the family firm, her marriage, already shaky, comes under more strain. Willow starts to wonder how much of the fallout she can pin on Rayna.

Both women are pulled into the darker side of Amsterdam's glamorous diamond trade, a domestic and crime thriller told through their two points of view. To survive, they have to learn who killed Xander and where the diamonds went, with nobody they can easily trust in a city far from home.
