A Puzzle in Pearls by John Creasey

A Puzzle in Pearls by John Creasey

A stolen necklace has British detective Patrick Dawlish running in circles to find the culprit in this classic Golden Age mystery.

 

A famous jewel thief has struck again, stealing a fortune of gems from Lord Hillmorton and kidnapping his daughter to ensure his silence. But there's one man to call when there are no other options: Patrick Dawlish.

 

Hot in pursuit, Dawlish, his wife, and Cedric Forbes find themselves caught between a notorious gang of thieves and a quirky family who may or may not have their own part to play in the crime. As a strand of valuable pearls changes hands, it's up to Dawlish to orchestrate a plan to root out the fakes from the genuine article--and bring the innocent home alive . . .

 

Master crime fiction writer John Creasey's near six hundred titles have sold more than eighty million copies in over twenty-five languages under both his own name and ten other pseudonyms. His style varied with each identity and led to him being regarded as a literary phenomenon.

During his lifetime, Creasey enjoyed an ever-increasing reputation both in the UK and overseas, especially the US. He was honored twice by the Mystery Writers of America, latterly as Grand Master.
