Book Excerpt: , shiny, drizzle-swept street."Only Sallie Page, the cook. I'll call her. There's Mrs. Darcy's maid--Jane Metson. But she went away yesterday afternoon and won't be back until about noon. It's past time Sallie was down to get breakfast. I'll call her--"Darcy made a move as though to go to the rear of the store, whence a side door gave entrance to the stairs leading to the rooms above."I'll go with you," said Mulligan, and he shoved himself to an erect posture by forcing his elbows against the showcase on which he had been leaning in a manner to give himself as much rest as possible without sitting down--it was a way he had, acquired from long patrolling of city streets."You--you'll go with me?" faltered Darcy."Yes, to call the cook. She won't run away," and he nodded toward the dead woman."Oh!" There was a world of meaning in Darcy's interjection. "You mean that I--""I don't mean nothin'!" broke in Mulligan.

Book Description
"Here is something positively new in the line of mystery stories. Colonel Ashley, a military man turned detective, is a character that once known is never to be forgotten. The plot hinges on a murder and the mysterious disappearance of a cross of diamonds, and suspicion points to the lover of one of the sweetest girls ever introduced in fiction. And then--and this is unusual in a detective story--there is some real humor, the trail of Spotty, who was willing to confess to anything." -Publishers Weekly

Book Description
This extraordinary true tale follows the disappearance of more than 20 million dollars worth of precious diamonds during World War II. In 1942, as the Japanese army advanced on Java, two wealthy businessmen entrusted a Russian aviator, Captain Ivan Smirnoff, with a small, mysteriously-unmarked package, to be delivered to a businessman in Sydney. The plane was attacked during a Japanese air raid and under heavy fire, but Smirnoff miraculously landed the badly damaged plane on an isolated beach on Java's far northwest coast. A few weeks later, Jack Palmer stumbled across the lost package—containing precious diamonds—among the plane's wreckage. Nicknamed "Diamond Jack," Palmer and two others were charged with theft of the diamonds. This true adventure follows the diamonds as they are lost, found, and lost again.
