Kate Doyle, private investigator on holiday in Buenos Aires, stumbles on a fabulous set of emerald and diamond jewelry once owned by an Austrian queen. Was this part of the Nazi loot spirited out of Germany after World War II? Did the Nazi SS plan to finance resurgence after losing the war by moving billions in gems stolen from the Jews in the Holocaust to Argentina? Was Evita their pawn or the clever manipulator of this scheme? In 1947 this self-made saint of the poor and the downtrodden made her extravagant Rainbow Tour of Europe, spending over 4 million dollars on designer gowns and furs for herself. Was she merely on a goodwill visit? Or was she depositing a huge cash bounty in Swiss banks, the reward for letting Nazi criminals escape to Argentina? Kate is called on to solve a murder case that she reveals is related to the international fencing of the ill-gotten jewelry. How will she escape a horrible death in her attempt to bring the perpetrators to justice?
