Colonel Thorndyke's Secret
G. A. Henty
Book Overview:
Intrigue, murder, highwaymen... A British soldier serving in India has stolen a diamond bracelet from a Hindu idol. The bracelet comes into the possession of Colonel Thorndyke, who is subsequently sent home to England, where he dies of wounds received and bequeaths the bracelet to his relatives, having told his brother about it, but not its location. Meanwhile, the theft has caused a stir in India, and the Hindu faithful regard it as their religious duty to reclaim the jewel at any cost. Also published under the title: "The Brahmin's Treasure"

It was so good to read another Henty book after all these years. This particular one was new to me and I enjoyed the drama! :)
Story was interesting but ending was weak. Characters' reaction to what they learned would not happen today.
