Upon their arrival, Blake and Tinker are introduced to Jim's fiancΓ©e, Lillah Hartley, and her widowed mother, Lady Zenda Hartley, who is a prominent figure in English social circles and who lives in the adjoining estate. During the dinner party, Lady Hartley gives her daughter a magnificent ruby as a wedding gift but, that night, after they have returned to their home, the gem is stolen and Lady Hartley is found lying unconscious in her study beside a murdered Hindoo.
