About this book
The Hon. Mr and Mrs Bede Lambton, of Abberton Hall in Worcestershire,
persuade their nephew Gregory to enter a competition run by the Syrian
Ministry of Tourism. Gregory, a student in the archaeology department of
Bristol University, produces a paper called ‘The Syrian Sapphire’, but it is
a housemate of his, Sheena Morrison, who submits it in her own name and
under a changed title, ‘The Star of Syria’. The day after being told that
her entry has won, Sheena is murdered. There appears to be nothing in
Sheena’s life or in the competition entry to justify such savage action.
Inspector Wickfield and Sergeant Hewitt find themselves baffled by a
seemingly motiveless murder. Had the killer mistaken his victim? Was the
murder a burglary that had gone wrong? Had the recent theft in New York of
the fabulous sapphire known as the Star of India anything to do with the
case? You are invited to accompany Inspector Stan Wickfield and Sergeant
Hewitt on their grim journey of discovery into the motivation of an astute
and determined killer. You will be given every item of information
accessible to the investigating team: are you clever enough to read the
runes?
Julius Falconer’s erudite and sophisticated stories are a byword for urbane
and stylish entertainment. In this case you have the added benefit of
learning the basics of Syriac, if you so desire!
