About This Book

The narrative follows a young ex-officer who accepts work as companion to a mysterious expatriate, whose subsequent disappearance and violent death trigger an investigation that ranges from country inns to colonial postmarks and the diamond trade. The narrator and a longtime friend piece together clues—cryptic letters, legal maneuvers, funeral inscriptions and suspicious dealings among jewelers and the newly wealthy—while suspects and missing persons emerge. The plot traces detective procedure, courtroom accusation and transcontinental movements before revealing identity questions and motives, balancing procedural detail with social observation of fortune, secrecy and appearances.
