The Countess is famous for her lavish lifestyle, entertaining, and collection of magnificent jewels, in particular, a parure known as The Fleet Diamonds. The set includes a necklace containing a rare, priceless blue diamond, although legend claims the diamond is cursed. During a lavish soirée at her country house, the necklace is stolen.
The police are called in to investigate, at first, it looks like a carefully planned jewellery robbery. However, as the story hits the news and newspapers, the noted spiritual medium Jocasta Bradman sees something in her crystal ball and believes there may be something sinister attached to the disappearance of the necklace. She contacts Lady Fenella and Jasper, along with two of her colleagues from the famous Pluckley Psychic Historical Society. As they begin their investigation, they discover the blue diamond has a connection to a long-forgotten Indian deity and religion. They realise something is about to happen, something which they must try to stop.
