A gemologist’s world turns upside down when she interrupts an armed robbery in her grandfather’s jewelry store. Before being rushed to the hospital, Kimberley West’s grandfather entrusts her with guarding a five-carat, flawless blue diamond. There’s just one problem: Small-town jewelers seldom deal in rare gemstones worth millions. A mysterious phone call convinces Kim the diamond is connected to the recent murder of Grandpa’s best friend. As the attacks continue, she realizes no one will be safe until she solves the mystery surrounding the diamond..
