Treasure Up in Smoke

Meer over het boek

Set in the tranquil British colony of King Charles Island, the story unfolds after the shocking murder of a prominent local figure. Peregrine Gore, the assistant to the detective Mark Treasure, finds himself wrongfully accused and grapples with the decision to escape rather than confront the island's primitive justice system. As tensions rise, the narrative explores themes of innocence, justice, and the complexities of colonial life.
