A priceless exotic jewel disappears, sending the beautiful young woman who inherited it into turmoil as misfortune follows misfortune. Stolen from a Hindu shrine by a plundering ancestor, the jewel dazzles Rachel Verinder when she receives it on her 18th birthday. But its disappearance robs her of something she values even more.
In a twisting plot that unfolds with dramatic surprises, the solution to this Victorian mystery requires the services of London detective Sergeant Cuff, whose incisive investigative work is matched only by his love of roses.
