“found in the banks of the Amoy
River in southern China” [BLUE]
The blue carbuncle had quite a journey. Before it even arrived
in the action of the story, the piece of crystallized charcoal was
the object of "two murders, a vitriol-throwing, a suicide, and
several robberies."
But once it's in London and disappears from the Countess of
Morcar's possession, where does it go? Gavin Brend takes us on the
wild journey. It's just a Trifle.
