Review
This debut novel is heavy on the fun and light on the suspense.  Our young hero, Doug, is a brewery worker from Pottstown, Pennsylvania, until, at short notice, he finds himself sacked from his dead-end job and on the trail of a fabulous diamond, stolen by his long-dead uncle  - the bad sheep of the family - who was murdered many years earlier.
Beyond the Book
A compulsive traveler, occasional scuba diver, and incurable beginning saxophonist, Charles Benoit has worked in education and advertising.  He and his wife, Rose, currently live in exotic Rochester, New York.  Relative Danger is his first novel.
