Albert Gate Mystery

When the Sultan of Turkey's imperial diamonds vanish from a heavily guarded London townhouse, the body count rises and so does the suspicion surrounding Jack Talbot, a young Foreign Office secretary who has vanished alongside the gems. Turkish officials lie dead in the locked mansion, and Talbot, once trusted with the Sultan's most precious mission, now faces arrest and likely execution for theft and murder. But Lord Fairholme knows his friend is no murderer, and he turns to barrister-detective Reginald Brett to untangle a web of diplomatic secrets, double-crosses, and political cover-ups before it's too late. Brett must navigate a world where foreign governments, British bureaucracy, and hidden enemies collide, and where the truth could destroy more than one career. A clever, atmospheric Edwardian puzzle box of a mystery, where nothing is as it seems and every clue might be a trap.
