Rough diamonds are being smuggled out of Africa--and Cherry's acute observations lead her to believe that the clinic itself is the base of the smugglers' operations </p> <p>By carefully putting together obscure bits and pieces of evidence, and at great personal danger to herself, Cherry sets a trap for the criminals.</p> <p>How the alert and pretty young nurse from the United States manages to put an end to an international smuggling ring provides a whirlwind finish to a fascinating story of mystery and intrigue.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Helen Wells<br><b>Publisher:</b> Springer Publishing Company<br><b>Published:</b> 06/30/2020<br><b>Pages:</b> 224<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.55lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.51d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780826155948<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12
