This mystery follows the intriguing events surrounding the theft of a valuable diamond necklace belonging to Lady Castlecourt.

At the start of the story, we are introduced to Sophy Jeffers, who details her life in service to the Marchioness of Castlecourt, revealing the lavish lifestyle of her mistress and the tensions surrounding their stay at Burridge’s Hotel in London. As preparations are made for a significant event, the Castlecourt diamonds, a family heirloom, disappear under suspicious circumstances.
