Diamonds, desire and a Maharani’s curse.
When the Maharani’s Tear – a priceless diamond steeped in legend and tragedy – vanishes from Wembley’s Indian Pavilion, suspicion falls on a young Greek immigrant. But Meli knows better.
Reunited with Dimitri, a friend from her own misadventure aboard the SS Andromeda, she’s convinced his friend is innocent. With her faithful companion Winston at her side, Meli delves into a world of Indian princes, arranged marriages, and ancient curses.
As she navigates the dazzling displays and shadowy corners of the Exhibition, she begins to suspect the truth behind the theft is far more complex than Scotland Yard believes.
With royal tempers flaring and the threat of false justice looming, can Meli uncover the truth before an innocent man becomes the latest victim of the Maharani’s curse?
