Sommario/riassunto |
|
John Mannering (aka 'The Baron') is a retired jewel thief who now runs a respectable antique business in London's Mayfair. His curiosity is aroused when he is invited to Hong Kong by a dealer to view a unique exhibition of Chinese art, but is even more astounded by the lengths someone is prepared to go to so as to prevent him attending. |
