✦ Synopsis


exton Blake and Tinker are invited to an engagement party that Sir John Currier is throwing for his son, Jim, at Wierdale Court in Surrey. Prior to his retirement, Sir John, a civil servant, was posted in India, and though he's generally good-hearted, he is also racially prejudiced. 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.
