Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book commences with the arrival of a Mr. Ashton at Major Temple's abode, The Oaks, where he was met with suspicion and mild objection from Miss Temple, the Major's daughter. During dinner, Mr. Ashton reveals the purpose of his visit, and his prior search in China for a green emerald Buddha at Major Temple's behest. The gleaming gem sets off a series of events, leading to Mr. Ashton's murder that same night, with the emerald Buddha mysteriously vanishing from the locked room. The author introduces us to a world of intrigue and mystery, as Sergeant McQuade and Mr. Morgan, a guest in The Oaks, seek to unravel not just the how, but the why of the murder. The story explores ancient Chinese beliefs, superstition and secret societies, leading the reader through a maze of hidden clues and puzzling alibis. The author cleverly weaves in cultural insights and a thought-provoking examination of the value we place on material possessions.
