A Jack Haldean mystery
When Mrs Paxton, fingers point towards her artist nephew Terence Napier, seen leaving the house earlier that previous evening after a row over her will. Months later and Napier has never been found, but curiously a dead body is discovered in a train compartment, and scattered at the dead man's feet are the famous Leigh sapphires - a necklace owned by Mrs Paxton. Scotland Yard once again call upon the services of author Jack Haldean to help solve this most complicated of cases.
