Novel-lost emerald necklace

[Bigun1_6605]

Does anyone remember a current mystery novel by a woman writer a few years ago that involved a woman investigator searching the world for a lost emerald necklace? She traveled to Russia, Egypt and Japan to find it. Any man that gave her trouble, she beats up. I had this book, lost it and would like to read it again. Any info would be appreciated.
