Wealthy architect Nicholas Newman is an ordinary man, although perhaps more self-aware than most, who gets caught up in extraordinary events beyond his control. He’s also the hero of At Ruby’s, the third book in Frank Delaney’s Gemstone Trilogy.

As in the first two books, The Amethysts and Pearl, Newman struggles with the evil that emerged in Nazi Germany and which continues to affect present times. Opening in the board room of Richard Strafe, a business acquaintance of Newman’s and moving to the boudoir of ‘the poshest tart in town’, Ruby Hamer, Newman discovers that evil cannot be left in the past – and enemies are everywhere.

A taut psychological thriller with a cracking pace, At Ruby’s is a difficult book to put down. The Historian
