Green Flash – A necklace that was stolen in May, 2046 in the South of France. An American socialite, an heiress famed for her jewels and her parties, and some ten and a quarter million - USD - in diamonds, emeralds. It was stolen from the vault on her estate in Cannes, was worth nearly half that amount, and was never recovered. Inspector Abernathy asked Roarke about that theft in Shadows in Death, after learning of the encounter between Roarke and Lorcan Cobbe in that area and timeframe. Eve asked, “Do you think Cobbe took time out of murdering targets to steal necklaces”" When Abernathy told her no, she told him, “Then it doesn’t apply.”
After Abernathy left the lounge, Roarke assured Eve he wasn’t draping her in pieces of some necklace stolen from some idiot American. He sold it, as contracted, long ago and bought the nice little resort in Cannes he told Abernathy was his reason for being in the South of France at that time. He told Eve they should go to the resort sometime.[1]
YANNI: Roarke told Eve he “was in the South of France, on what we’ll call an art deal,”[2] but later told Eve he sold the necklace.[1]
