The Uruguay Amethyst (An Ainsley Walker Gemstone Travel Mystery)

A faraway land.

A valuable amethyst.

And the auction of a lifetime.

Amateur gemstone detective Ainsley Walker accepts an offer from an elderly art dealer to travel to the country of Uruguay—the forgotten jewel of South America—to buy a priceless treasure.

But it’s not that easy. It’s never that easy.

Things go wrong, and Ainsley’s plans are flipped upside down. Soon she’s carried on a fast-paced runaway adventure—

—from the historic streets of Montevideo to the muddy roads of remote villages—

—from rural beef ranches to elite beach resorts—

Along the way, Ainsley finds joy, pain, friendship, duplicity, murder … and a new identity.

If you love whodunits, foreign adventure, and quick pacing, you may lose sleep over this impossible-to-put-down travel mystery! Find out why Jernay’s fans call this a “brisk, entertaining romp” that has “an outstanding sense of place, an enjoyable main character, and entertaining supporting cast.”
