The stone of the title is an enormous diamond plundered from an Indian shrine after the Siege of Seringapatam. Given to Miss Verinder on her eightieth birthday. It mysteriously disappears that very night. Suspicion falls on three Indian jugglers who have been seen in the neighbourhood. But all is not as it seems dark secrets lurk behind respectable facades and the trail of clues leads Sergeant Cluff elsewhere
