AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'While on a stormbound flight to Shanghai, a mysterious old man from Manchuria thrusts a strange object into the hand of Jocelyn Osgood, the well-known flight attendant with Valkyrian Airways. The old man inexplicably disappears in mid-flight, leaving Jocelyn with a clue to the whereabouts of a priceless treasure from Chinese antiquity - one that holds the very secret to pure magic ...'

'With advice from Cairo Jim, Jocelyn and her friend Joan Twilight embark upon the search for the Puce Empress, a search which takes them to China's mountainous and uncertain south.

'But Gordon Slenderhead, that renowned prestidigitator, is also after the Puce Empress, and his devious desire is all-consuming...' (Source: back cover).
