When Lucy is given a beautiful ruby necklace by Pierre, a gorgeous man she's only just met, her life suddenly becomes much more complicated.But the necklace isn't Pierre's to give and he and Lucy are forced to flee from Albie Chan, the local Triad boss. With night-club owner and would-be gangster, Big Al also in pursuit, Lucy is drawn into Liverpool's shady underworld via a secret network of underground tunnels. Here we meet the enigmatic Aurora, her suave yet sinister assistant, and a band of strange little people.There's a kleptomaniac monkey called Fingers and an Abyssinian cat with a talent for tracking, which comes in handy when an odd little jade statue in the shape of a camel turns up.
