Black Diamond is a suspense novel set against the worlds of police corruption in Los Angeles and meth manufacturing in the rural Northwest. Susan Muir has left her career as an investigative reporter for the Los Angeles Times to return to her hometown of Marble Point, Idaho. But soon after she settles in, her reporter's instinct is aroused, first by curious doings on the home front, and then as her past life catches up when suspended LAPD Police Sergeant Dominick Garcia appears on the scene, chased by LAPD Internal Affairs Lieutenant Charlie Martin. Sparks fly. Murder, drugs, chase -- and more corruption.

NOT the Joan Wolf you think it is!,
This review is from: Black Diamond (Paperback)
This is not the historical/modern romance writer Joan Wolf! This is a very poorly written "mystery" with bad plotting and very crude people acting and speaking badly. Don't be fooled like I was.

Gem for all to behold!,
By Mz B, Esquire "Anna" (Stevensville, MT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Diamond (Paperback)
Black Diamond is indeed a precious gem! Joan Wolf's caliber of writing is reminiscent of classic Mary Higgins Clark. Wolf transports the reader into her suspenseful novel by masterfully developing her characters so that the reader is not reading about them, but is interacting with each of them. Without a doubt, this is a page-turner, impossible to set down!

How many carots?,
By
This review is from: Black Diamond (Paperback)
A jewler will tell you that there is no such diamond as a black diamond but Joan Wolf's new novel "Black Diamond" is a 75 carot gem. Even though her heroine is an amature slueth, she goes about trackin the killer in a suspensuly way. Her caracters are so well deascibed that a casting agent can just picture the actors to fill the roles an a motion picture production. A great read, hard to put dowh until you find out how she catches the bad guy.
