With African diamond mines seized by butchering rebels, a world-wide search is underway for other deposits.

Unaware of the "conflict diamond" issue, Father John O'Malley learns some startling news in the confessional. A stranger tips him off that a young Arapaho's death near the reservation's petroglyphs wasn't suicide but murder—and more murders are about to take place. Miles away in Denver, a diamond mining executive contacts Vicky Holden about the reservation, but he is murdered before he can give her any information. Together, Father John and Vicky learn that the murderous threads are connected. They must unravel the truth before others die—and those others could be Father John and Vicky themselves.
