Summary

A young girl comes to live in the slums of New Delhi. It is a place of danger where street gangs rule. Through the initiative of a blind beggar, she is taken to work in the home of a rich businessman and his dysfunctional son. There, she observes a world of education and privilege - a world that is out of her reach.

But danger still stalks her.

A kidnap attempt forces her to flee to her childhood home in the tropical backwaters of Kerala - a land of wooden boats, fishing, and elephants. But she cannot hide forever. She must band together with her old friends from Delhi, a medical student and a nun, to unravel the significance of the pendant given to her by the blind beggar - the peacock stone. Why does the stone bring death, and how is it linked to one of the biggest jewel thefts in history?

A beautiful book where i learned so much about customs and geography of India. I expected treasure and got a love story.

Surprisingly wonderful

This book is more of a romantic novel than a fast paced treasure seeking adventure as the first book was. Such a wild change of direction and speed and a let down if I’m honest

Such a change of direction from the first book of the series
