So when, a few days later, the Mogul's priceless diamond was found in Mally's possession, the Slug was delighted. It was his chance. He had made a terrible mistake and now he could blame it on Mally. After all, if she had stolen the gem, they would believe anything of her...</p> <p>Mally's escape from one dangerous situation leads her into a lethal criminal conspiracy in this classic mystery thriller, originally published in 1927.
