A stolen necklace has British detective Patrick Dawlish running in circles to find the culprit in this classic Golden Age mystery.   A famous jewel thief has struck again, stealing a fortune of gems from Lord Hillmorton and kidnapping his daughter to ensure his silence.

As a strand of valuable pearls changes hands, it’s up to Dawlish to orchestrate a plan to root out the fakes from the genuine article—and bring the innocent home alive . . .

She is engaged to a quiet Londoner who has recently disappeared.
