Refinished Fr 1/22/16
This is one of my paperbacks and I finished it the first time, Mo 5/2/94
Like something that would be read at the beach or in an airport, and I devoured it in two days. Light, but engaging.
The 7th Commandment is ADULTERY, but the book dealt with a jewelry store chain that was being used as a way to launder money for a large drug ring

The story is about an insurance investigator from Hartford, Conneticut who is investigating an insurance claim in NYC. An elderly owner of a jewelry chain is stabbed on a Manhattan street and the company is on the hook for a three million dollar claim. Three more murders occur and a much bigger scheme is revealed.
Dora Conti is the plump, yet brainy agent and, although happily married to trucker/dispatcher (I know how that goes) she falls for NY detective John Wenden. But, they do not succumb to the sin of adultery.
I wonder if the Dora Conti character is going to be used again or was it a 'one off'.
