Awesome cover and a fun story. If you get a chance to read it (and there is no reason you shouldn't since it has been reprinted) do so. There is a mention of the provenance of the fabulous Fire Opal that further muddles the history of the famous ring. I will always subscribe to the original story of it having been a gift from a Russian Czar. From what I understand there is a seven pointed star engraved under the gemstone but this is the story that introduces us to the "sign of Chow Lee". Alas, perhaps our hero has a whole jewelry box of rings for various occasions.
Irregardless, a fun tale that you should read.
