MacGrath: The Blue Rajah Murder

“The Blue Rajah diamond brings with it the usual trail of discord, crime and general ill-luck. Five jewel experts gather in an isolated but beautiful camp in the Adirondacks to bid for the stone. Strange occurrences ensue: a sudden death (was it murder?); the discovery that the real jewel has disappeared and a paste imitation substituted; an orgy of music and a romance. Every detail is as perfect as possible. Suspense, speed, mystery, breath-taking situations.” (Philadelphia Inquirer, 1930)
