Tom's dad is the black sheep of the family – the only one who isn't a thieving adventurer and dishonest chancer. Tom's granddad was like that, but has just died. Tom's uncle tends that way – and even Tom himself learnt the benefits of such a life in the [[Island of Thieves by Josh Lacey|first book in the series]]. With the passing of the granddad, Tom is alone in the empty house when a desperate burglar implies a family secret is worth a lot of money – which leads to Tom and Uncle Harvey disappearing tout suite to India on the trail of treasure. Out of eight gem-encrusted tiger statuettes, seven have been bought by the same oligarch – but the eighth was hidden by one of Tom's ancestors, and might be there still, and they might be first to the priceless object – but they are not the only people on the treasure hunt…

The author has still yet to best his [[Bearkeeper by Josh Lacey|Bearkeeper]] novel. [[The City of Spirits by Paul Bajoria]] has two children going to the subcontinent for an inheritance, as historical fiction.
