THE GEM CONNECTION by Michael R. Lane

Clinton Windell is murdered in his home and robbed of twenty million dollars in uncut gems. An anonymous client hires ex-DEA agent turned Private Investigator C. J. Cavanaugh to solve the case. There’s only one catch. C. J. and his partner must not reveal to anyone that they are involved. Not even C. J.’s lover and dogged Homicide Detective, Destini Pendleton, who is assigned the high-profile case, can know. The murder mystery requires C. J. to utilize all of his cunning to keep him and his partner alive and out of prison long enough to apprehend the killers.
