Pool of Flame drives O Rourke plot in Island storm
In Monaco’s night a gambler Colonel Terence O Rourke learns of a £100,000 reward for the Pool of Flame ruby from Rangoon solicitors. He recalls past friends, scheming foes, and Chambret in Algiers as a dangerous web tightens around betrayals. His wife Beatriz pleads for a safe life while he vows a ninety day gamble to claim or lose the jewel and their marriage.
