Addison Kent vs Alceste
These two novels tell the story of Addison Kent, mystery writer, who becomes embroiled in mysteries of his own, and who runs into international jewel thief Alceste. Alceste is a man of mystery, dangerous and cunning, who steals the finest of gems. These novels are full of twists and turns, as Kent solves mysteries of murder and theft and tries to run Alceste to ground.
