About This Book

A down-on-his-luck man accepts a hastily folded message to deliver and is soon drawn into a growing puzzle of theft, deceit and successive murders connected to a valuable Burmese ruby. Action shifts from port streets to London alleys and country houses as eccentric visitors, household retainers and foreign figures surface, clues accumulate, and competing interests collide. The plot traces investigations and close calls, uncovers hidden alliances and betrayals, and culminates in the recovery of the jewel and the exposure of those responsible for the crimes.
