The Christmas Egg
by Mary KellyFrom the book jacket: "In a dingy one-room apartment in London, old Princess Karukhina lies dead amid the squalor in which she lived. She had fled from Russia in the fearsome days of the Revolution, and had lived in obscurity and poverty with the one member of her family who remained alive, her grandson, Ivan. Now death brings her to the attention of Inspector Nightingale and Sergeant Beddoes of Scotland Yard. Very soon the Inspector begins to realize that the Princess did not die of natural causes. Her grandson is unaccountably missing, and the trunkful of magnificent jewels that she kept under her bed is empty. In particular, the fabulous Fabergé egg is gone, that most beautiful and valuable of the Princess' possessions. As Inspector Nightingale pursues his investigation, he learns the intimate history of a royal house; he ferrets out the existence of some rare opera recordings of great value; and he meets a beautiful but strange young shop girl whose part in Princess Karukhina's death must be uncovered. With a background of the fabulously wealthy white Russian community and the decline and fall of an empire, Inspector Nightingale and Sergeant Beddoes uncover theft, double-dealing, and murder--and the tradition that contributed to the dignity of a royal family." Mary Kelly artfully and closely describes details and characters. Contains British spelling and dialects, and some use of foreign language including accented words.
