'Orange-Yellow Diamond' Summary
'Orange-Yellow Diamond' follows the story of Andrew Lauriston, a young novelist facing financial hardship. Desperate for money, he agrees to help his friend, Martin Gardiner, a turf commission agent, with a seemingly simple task—delivering a small package. However, the package turns out to contain a valuable orange-yellow diamond, and Lauriston becomes entangled in a complex web of intrigue and danger when the diamond goes missing. The case becomes a matter for Scotland Yard, and Lauriston finds himself caught in a whirlwind of secrets and deceptions. As the investigation unfolds, he encounters Mrs. Flitwick, a landlady with a sharp mind and a suspicious nature, and a captivating woman named Zillah Wildrose, who plays a mysterious role in the events surrounding the diamond. Lauriston's own life takes a turn for the romantic as he develops feelings for Zillah, adding a layer of personal stakes to his already precarious situation. As he unravels the truth behind the theft and the murder that follows, Lauriston's own intelligence and wit are tested as he navigates the treacherous landscape of London society and uncovers the secrets of the enigmatic orange-yellow diamond.Book Details
