Synopsis

When "The Russian Pink"—a stunningly large rose-hued diamond—makes a surprise appearance around the neck of Honey Li, the wife of surging presidential candidate Harry Nash, Alex Turner, an investigator for the Treasury Department’s diamond division and former C.I.A. agent, finds himself spiraling down a seemingly endless rabbit hole. A diamond like that always carries secrets, but the web of mystery behind "The Pink" is more complex than Alex could ever image.

Starting with the trail of damage from botched sting operation, Alex wavers between legal and illegal tactics, friends, family, and foes to find out why a mysterious Russian double agent betrayed him and the diamond ended up on a potential path to the White House. For wherever the Russian Pink goes, secrecy, deception, and death surely follow.

With echos of both John Le Carre and Jason Matthews, The Russian Pink is a stylish and fresh page-turner that catapults the reader into the world of blood diamond trading, a world that Matthew Hart, the author of the critically acclaimed Diamond, navigates with authoritative authenticity and wit.

Goodreads review by Cathrin on November 23, 2020

I LOVED this book. I loved the messed up characters, I loved the brilliantly elegant writing, and I loved that fat pink diamond—Matt Hart knows his way around the sex appeal of a glittering hunk of rock. And I’m delighted to find out it’s the first of a trilogy. More, please!......more

Goodreads review by Mary on November 28, 2020

A first-rate thriller with more twists than a slinky. A federal US Treasury agent is looking into possible links between illegal diamonds and a money-laundering operation that may or may not also involve a certain candidate for the presidency. Naturally, it's a dangerous adventure he's embarked on.......more
