Moons in Gold

Moons in Gold (1936)

When a rare set of golden opals appear, various jewel thieves go on a chase to steal them that takes them from Paris to London to Egypt to China. Their trails are littered with dead bodies.

Captain Valentine is in Paris looking for rare golden opals that have just surfaced out of a private collection. He rapidly finds that he is not the only jewel thief on the hunt for these rarities. And he rapidly finds that murder is accompanying the chase. What begins as a very suave, mannered society affair in Paris, ends in a fight for survival in a pirate infested trap on a river deep within China.

Moons in Gold is C.S. Montanye’s only novel length story.
