Those things found in the Home Coppice show that she was made away with plain enough, I say.&rdquo, Jim Gregory, under-gardener at Hargreave Manor, finds something unexpected when climbing Lover&rsquo,s Oak but won&rsquo,t say what. Instead he&rsquo,s all ears regarding the legendary &lsquo,Luck of the Hargreaves&rsquo, diamonds, destined for the future bride of Sir Arthur, the new squire. Sir Arthur himself then discovers a beautiful stranger, lost in the woods near the manor. She cannot recall a thing&mdash,not even her name. She is given shelter and Mary Marston, a private nurse, recognizes her&mdash,and abruptly goes missing. Nurse Marston must still be in the house, it is initially agreed&mdash,but if so, where? Who got rid of Nurse Marston? To whom does the tobacco pouch with the floral design belong? And why was a blood-stained cuff found in the woods? These mysteries, and more, Superintendent Stokes is determined to solve. The Blue Diamond (1925) is a classic of early golden crime fiction. This new edition, the first in over eighty years, features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans. &ldquo,Tired men, trotting home at the end of an imperfect day, pop into the library and ask for an Annie Haynes. They have not made a mistake in the street number. It is not a cocktail they are asking for&hellip,&rdquo, Sketch
