On a Saturday in June 1880, a wealthy American factory town hears some astonishing news. During the night, burglars have broken into Miss Wardour's house, forced her small safe and stolen the famous “Wardour diamonds”.

The investigation begins, and behind the town's fine façades everyone seems to be hiding something. An American detective novel full of false leads and reversals.

With its twists and lively dialogue, this novel is easy to read in the language you are learning.
