The Sterling Standard — Gary Brandner

Sterling Dane was three women --

Beautiful jet-setter -- with her elegant, rich friends she traveled to world, from Acapulco to St. Moritz, skiing, gambling, and partying.

International jewel thief -- unbeknownst to anyone, Sterling was a modern day Robin Hood, always one step ahead of Nicole Rulan, the Interpol agent determined to catch her.

Lover -- it was out of love for Raoul Costa, the greatest jewel thief of all, that Nicole sought out the most challenging crimes. For she hoped that the lure of the Rashman ruby, stolen by King Kahlil and pursued by terrorists, might finally enable her to snare her greatest prize, the man of her dreams.
