Abstract:
Travel the Silk Road to China. Be part of ancient legends in India that bring together a brother and sister, the secret in the beryl and the power of alabaster. Murder launches a continent wide search for the killers. Unexpected turn of events send diamonds spraying in the air, white tigers crying in the night, and thieves running for their lives. Smell the curry of New Delhi as sleuths James Hathaway and Rupert Donaldson try to piece together the elements of the death of the last of the maharajahs of ancient India, while fortune seekers lurk in the dark.
