The Green Stone — Suzanne Blanc

Who was the old man that made it impossible for Mr. and Mrs. Randall to continue their trip through Mexico? And how will this affect Jessie Prewitt, a young woman fleeing a suddenly ended marriage? These are the questions Inspector Memendes must answer as he begins to unravel a baffling case.

Jessie's destination was the Mexican town of San Luis but once there her life became bewildering and frightening despite the obvious pleasures of the picturesque little hotel and the kindness of some of the guests.
