Empty Treasures

By Warren Adler

This story of the corruptive power of money and ambition in American politics begins in the floating city of Venice.

A Washington female reporter trying to repair a bad marriage suddenly spots a professional jeweler, a key figure in the world of Washington's powerful social and political elite. When she returns to Washington, she is shocked to discover that the jeweler never returned and has, in effect, disappeared.

This piques her curiosity. What she uncovers goes to the heart of political corruption on a grand scale. It deals with diamonds smuggled into the country to finance a Presidential political campaign and how money and politics impact family, children, friends, and lovers.

This tantalizing and complex thriller deals with the dark side of ambition and the extremes people will go to attain political power.
