A CACHE OF JEWELS HIDDEN CENTURIES BEFORE THE DAYS OF THE BRITISH RAJ IS REVEALED WHEN A RUNAWAY FIELD GUN CRASHES INTO AN ARCHWAY IN THE AMBER FORT IN JAIPUR, INDIA.

Corporal Robertson and three of his comrades quickly spirit a quantity of the precious stones away from their ancient hiding place: sixteen red rubies and an almost black ruby the size of a hen's egg, and said to be cursed - The Black Heart of the Moghul. A century later the corporal's great-grandson, James, finds references to the rubies in his grandfather's diaries and travels to India to search for the jewels, unaware of the Eurasian grandsons of one of those other soldiers, three part-Indians who have long known what was taken and hidden away again by the corporal, but not knowing where the stones now lie. James must forge a fragile alliance with those three, an alliance which can have only one outcome as together they follow his grandfather's words, untrusting of each other.

Another thriller from the prize-winning author of The Crying Stones.
