THE CALCUTTA DRAGON BY GEORGE SNYDER
FIRST IN THE LOGAN SAND SERIES: A priceless
brooch encrusted with red diamonds; created by an African craftsman; taken by a
Calcutta Raja; stolen when a Scottish pirate plundered the Raja’s fleet and
harem; kept for generations by pirate descendants; repeatedly passed hand to
hand from India to Morocco to China to South America and Mexico; killed for in
world backwater ports and alleys and steaming ghettos, passed along through
treachery, thievery and murder until it reaches Private Detective Logan Sand’s
territory in the Pacific Northwest on the body of an India gem peddler. Logan
is hired by an enemy he should have killed twenty years ago to find the
Calcutta Dragon, along with the girlfriend who took it, killing her way along
to disappear.
