Miriam Lea on reipas ja rohkea nuori nainen, jota on siunattu terävällä älyllä, valloittavalla hymyllä, ja muillakin avuilla. Hänen tulevaisuuttaan kuitenkin varjostavat ‘menneisyys' ja työttömyys. Viimeisenä keinonaan hän päättää pyrkiä yksityisetsiväksi; ja suureksi hämmästyksekseen hänet valitaan! Hänen tehtävänsä on jäljittää karkuteille lähtenyt talousrikollinen. Turvanaan hänellä on kokeneempi kumppani, joka on perehtynyt etsivän työn ‘karkeampaan' puoleen. Vauhdikas takaa-ajo alkaa Hampurista ja huipentuu Kimberleyn timanttikentillä eteläisessä Afrikassa. Joskaan jutun lopputulos ei ole se, mitä neiti Lea odotti...Englanninkielinen alkuteos ilmestyi 1888 ja se esittelee yhden ensimmäisistä viktoriaanisista etsiväleideistä, jotka on suotta unohdettu rikoskirjallisuuden historiassa.
