'"Over the last yeal or two, somebody has got away with probably five million dollars worth of diamonds, rubies and pearls from the playboys and girls of the French and Italian Rivieras."

'A man in the United National S.l. group reports this in a letter to Robert Malone, undercover agent in the Commonwealth Police. The letter also alludes to an Australian mentioned by an "old beachcomber" in a Marseilles dive and encloses a Wynyard-Palm Beach bus ticket, a list of foreign names and a photograph of a Trench nightclub singer, picked up in the same dive.

'Malone divines that there is some connection between these diverse items when he recognises the singer of the photo as an entertainer at the Bagatelle Club at King's Cross and decides to begin his inquiry with her.'
