The Chanel Caper — Ruth Harris

JAMES BOND MEETS NORA EPHRON. OR IS IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND?

Blake Weston is a smart, savvy, no BS New Yorker. Her husband, Ralph Marino, is a très James Bond ex-cop and head of security for a large international corporation.

When Blake buys a “Chanel” bag from a sidewalk vendor, her problems start -- but don't end -- with a mugging. They escalate to encounters with an Emmy-obsessed war reporter with a humongo pair of 36 Double Ds, an iPhone-obsessed Afghan war lord with an itchy trigger finger, and a showdown in Shanghai with a beautiful woman who might -- or might not -- be deadly.

Meanwhile, Ralph is about to hit the Big Six O and he's not happy about it. Not that Blake is exactly thrilled about the prospect, either. Especially now that she suspects Ralph might be cheating on her. Again.

At this tense time in their relationship, Blake and Ralph are forced by Ralph's über-neurotic billionaire boss to work together to solve a murder -- and save Ralph's job.
