Impression
This story is written about the famous Rajah's Ruby has always been surrounded by murder and violence. Alvin and his friends have to stop the precious ruby from being stolen. They tired hard and found the deadly big secret of the Rajah's ruby. It was a big case for the investigators that affected the Snake and some international sergeant. At last, the fake Inspector Schmits is in jail but the Snake was run away. This story is amazed at where Alvin met the beautiful girl and had a mysterious story happened. I like the starting of this story that let people have many expect for the end of story. :)
