&ldquo,Thou hast betrayed, and thou hast slain&hellip,&rdquo, What is the mystery shrouding the lovely but sinister Annam stone, stolen from a remote shrine? Every owner of it has suffered an unhappy fate. When Peter Waring, nephew of the original thief, inherited the jewel, it would mean great power and wealth&mdash,or so he imagined. His rude awakening leads to a maze of deceit and treachery, a bogus love affair, and a narrowly escaped death. Peter believes the gem is in the hands of the one man in the world he has every reason to hate. A game of cat and mouse is about to ensue, with each man believing the other has what he wants&hellip, The Annam Jewel was originally published in 1924. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans. &ldquo,When I pick up a book by Patricia Wentworth I think, now to enjoy myself&mdash,and I always do.&rdquo, Mary Dell, Daily Mirror
