"Rob Northrup's debut novel delivers fast-paced action, pitting a professional ski bum and an ultra high priced escort against loan sharks, crooked bankers, hit men and a thousand-year-old vendetta in a tale of honor, greed, lust, and revenge. If you're craving a solid thriller with just the right amount of spice, definitely pick up this first installment of The Family Jewels. Highly recommended." --J.J. Hebert, #1 Amazon bestselling author

Sapphire... The stone of kings, gods, sorcerers, wisdom, and, ultimately, the apocalypse. A centuries-old collection of the gems has been stolen, and the reclusive ski and surf bum Jake Cohen has been half-enlisted and half-conscripted to chase the stones down and avenge his father's beating.

But no one knows the true purpose and power of the sapphires, or the depths those involved will take to claim ownership of the jewels...

Come take a ride from high mountain peaks and across blue oceans & sandy beaches with Jake and his cohorts as he chases The Family Jewels, and possibly changes the history of the world!
