When genealogist Jefferson Tayte is hired to prove the identity of a black sheep in his client’s family tree, he unwillingly finds himself drawn into a murder investigation with nothing more to go on than a 150-year-old letter and a connection to a legendary ruby that has been missing for generations. As more letters are mysteriously left for him, Tayte becomes immersed in a centuries-old tale of greed, murder and forbidden love that takes his research from the wilds of the Scottish Highlands to the colour and heat of colonial India. A dark secret is buried in Jaipur. But why is it having such deadly repercussions in the present?

Publisher's Summary
It was to be the most important case of Morton Farrier’s career in forensic genealogy so far. A case that had eluded him for many years: Finding his own father. Harley "Jack" Jacklin disappeared just six days after a fatal fire at his Cape Cod home on Christmas Eve in 1976, leaving no trace behind. Now his son, Morton must travel to the East Coast of America to unravel the family’s dark secrets in order to discover what happened to him.
This is the sixth book in the Morton Farrier genealogical crime mystery series, although it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.

Story is bang-on. Narrator is ghastly.
Given that most of the story takes place in Massachusetts, they should have had a narrator that could pronounce the name of the Commonwealth. Mass-uh-two-shess. Every American that came out of Ian Pringle's mouth sounded like a transplanted Texan, and nothing like anything close to New England, much less Cape Cod or Boston. It was almost more than I could handle.

Satisfying story
Great to hear another story focused on Morton’s personal genealogy! The story lost a star for me because of a huge plot twist without adequate explanation. But all in all, this novella is well-woven with interesting developments in Morton’s life!
