Judith Armitage is being blackmailed - but the identity of the blackmailer remains unknown. He knows her secret - and so she has no choice but to follow his orders. His latest demand: she is to sell her mother's jewellery and send him the proceeds. Terrified for her life, Judith sells the jewellery to a local auction house. But when the jewellery is stolen, Judith, with no money to pay the blackmailer, is left in a helpless predicament.
For crime writer Richard Verrell, also known as Blackshirt, life has been quiet and uneventful for too long. The necklace in the auction rooms thus presents the perfect challenge for the seasoned burglar.
