Jewels, Jinxes, and a Very Unwelcome Houseguest

The Castafiore Emerald

The Castafiore Emerald

Captain Haddock brushes off a gypsy fortune-teller's cryptic warning about a glamorous woman and missing jewellery. He really should have listened. When the formidable opera diva Bianca Castafiore arrives uninvited at Marlinspike Hall (and shows absolutely no sign of leaving), that peculiar prophecy starts to feel uncomfortably accurate. It's up to Tintin to work out who has made off with the famous emerald, in what turns out to be one of Hergé's most playfully constructed mysteries.
