STRANGE BEDFELLOWS A declaration of martial law in Sri Lanka sends Seigi temporarily back to Japan--until a strange message has him flying to Hong Kong to meet with one Vincent Lai, the man who seems as determined to betray Richard as he is to keep helping Seigi. What does Vincent truly want from them? And what will Seigi do once he reunites with Richard?

THE SUMMER GARDENAt the request of Richard’s mother, Catherine, Seigi travels with Richard to her vacation home in Provence in the south of France to meet her. On arriving, however, they find a mystery awaiting them in the form of a strange girl named Octavia, and an even stranger treasure hunt Catherine has set up for them. Can they find the thirty gemstones hidden across the estate? And if so, what else might they unearth?

GEMS ARE A MIRROR OF YOURSELF...Seigi is a Japanese university student working at Richard’s jewelry shop, Etranger. When Richard receives a new request from a client, Seigi finds himself tagging along to an auction for a piece of beautiful green jade that may be more special than it appears.

DEADBEAT DADThe reappearance of a complicated figure turns Seigi’s life upside down—his birth father, Hisashi Shimeno. The man he wants nothing to do with will not leave him be, and Seigi would rather quit Jewelry Étranger for good than risk bringing trouble to Richard’s door. That is, if Richard will let him go…
