Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs return to New York City to investigate a triple murder and confront a killer terrorizing couples at their happiest--and most vulnerable in this explosive New York Times bestseller. In the early hours of a quiet, weekend morning in Manhattan's Diamond District, a brutal triple murder shocks the city. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs quickly take the case. Curiously, the killer has left behind a half-million dollars' worth of gems at the murder scene, a jewelry store on 47th street. As more crimes follow, it becomes clear that the killer's target is not gems, but engaged couples themselves. The Promisor vows to take the lives of men and women during their most precious moments--midway through the purchase of an engagement ring, after a meeting with a wedding planner, trying on the perfect gown for a day that will never come. The Promisor arrives silently, armed with knife or gun, and a time of bliss is transformed, in an instant, to one of horror. Soon the Promiser makes a dangerous mistake: leaving behind an innocent witness, Vimal Lahori, a talented young diamond cutter, who can help Rhyme and Sachs blow the lid off the case. They must track down Vimal before the killer can correct his fatal error. Then disaster strikes, threatening to tear apart the very fabric of the city--and providing the perfect cover for the killer to slip through the cracks.

Download or read book Faceting History Cutting Diamonds and Colored Stones written by Glenn Klein and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-10-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of, "FACETING HISTORY: CUTTING DIAMONDS AND COLORED STONES" has for a long time had a deep interest in learning how the early faceters (cutters) of diamonds and colored gemstones were able to complete their work. What methods did they use? What equipment did they have to make success possible? How soon did they discover how to complete the many phases necessary to accomplish their work? How did the equipment and methods differ between fashioning diamonds and faceting colored stones? These are just a few of the questions that the author wanted to find the answers for. In looking for answers to these and other questions, the author found that there were bits and pieces of information available in many previous books, but there was not a good book available that would answer most of his questions. Upon hearing the author ́s remarks about this fact, one of the librarians at the wonderful library located at the Gemological Institute of America ́s Carlsbad campus said that if such a book was not available, "maybe you should write the book!" Well, the author had been thinking of doing just that, but the remark caused the author to see the light and agree to get started on the project. Little did he know then that the project would require many months of eight hour days over seven day weeks to get the book completed. He decided to write a book that would answer these and other related questions that he had. The thought also occurred to him that such a book would be a valuable volume to be placed in libraries of individual faceters around the world. He realized that such a book would also be of great value to anyone who works behind a Jewelry store counter. A successful sales person is one who is knowledgeable about the products that they are selling. A book of faceting information would be extremely valuable if read and re-read from time to time. A customer in the Jewelry store will no doubt be favorably impressed by a sales presentation that is made with the use of interesting and informative information about diamonds and the various colored gemstones. The customer will be convinced that the sales person knows about what they are talking. The author has spent nearly three years on the project of researching the GIA library and other libraries, along with the extensive personal library of gemstone related books that he personally possesses. Many conflicting reports were noted in his study. He has made the statements in his book reflect the most commonly accepted opinions, of the most respected authors ́ works that he has found in his research. History is only obtainable from the earlier works of other authors. We cannot go back to the long past centuries ourselves, to see first hand what really happened and when it happened. A study of faceting history requires making the best choices of the information that is available. This completed book answers questions as to why the fashioning of diamonds was/is so different from the faceting of colored gemstones. The book compares the needed equipment and the methods that have brought the greatest successes. In addition, a great deal of other information connected to faceting is included. There are seven chapters in the book and there are over 125 photographs of the early equipment and methods that were used. The photographs show the faceters, the workroom conditions, and the tools and equipment that they used to complete beautiful and lasting gemstones. The book chapters are titled: An Introduction to Faceting, Early Man ́s Stone Appreciation, Diamond Fashioning Procedure and Equipment, Colored Stone Faceting Procedure and Equipment, The Evolution of Cut Designs, Famous and Historic Gemstones, Sources of Diamond and Colored Stone Rough, and lastly, Advances in Faceting Over the Past One Hundred Years. By books end, the reader will be well informed as to what is r

Book excerpt: Sol Abrams, a former NYPD policeman and now a partner in an upscale law firm, asks his best friend Terry Adams, the firm’s forensic investigator, to help mitigate the death threats by the mob to Asher Feldman, his visiting relative. Reluctant to tangle once again with the Brighton Beach toughs, he condescends to his friend’s plea. He meets the victim at a family gathering, and after hearing his story, he undertakes the task with renewed commitment. Asher Feldman, a street urchin from Mariupol, Ukraine, met, fell in love, and married the daughter of a successful jeweler in Kyiv. In due course, he mastered the trade and became a brillianteer. When Maidan, the Revolution of Dignity, erupted, he, along with his patriotic biker friends, dedicated themselves to the cause of freedom. In the final days of the uprising, Asher took up arms and fought Putin’s Spetsnaz snipers in the bloodied streets of the capitol. Putin’s war in Donbas, once again, stirred his patriotic fervor. Asher volunteered for service in the Dnipro-1 Regiment. In boot camp, he cultivated his skill as a sniper, which was in high demand on the battlefield. Again, at a critical time, he volunteered to defend the Donetsk Airport from Moscow’s aggressors and became a CYBORG, a term the ruthless enemy imparted on the indestructibly strong-willed fighters. His service as a Cyborg, however, was short-lived. During an overwhelming attack by Russian Special Forces, Asher was posted in a runway crater to help thwart the attack. In the heat of the battle, RPG shrapnel tore apart his left leg, which had to be amputated. He eventually was brought to Walter Reed Hospital for rehabilitation. While waiting for his leg to firm and receive a permanent prosthesis, he plied his trade in the diamond district of Manhattan. Russian-speaking mobsters demanded that he provide them with the security layout of the facility in preparation for a burglary. They threatened his life and the lives of his wife and children. Terry turned to Mustafa Chubarov, a Brighton Beach chieftain, with whom he had previous dealings. He verified that the threat came from overseas, most likely from Kyiv, where Terry went and identified the main culprit. In the process, he nearly forfeited his life.
