A rich American has bought some fabulous rubies said to have belonged to Catherine the Great of Russia for his only [grown] child, Ruth. One of the gems is the 'Heart of Fire,' the largest known ruby in the world. They are said to be cursed, but Van Aldin doesn't believe in such things. If he did, he certainly wouldn't have given them to the apple of his eye.
Ruth has been married to Englishman Derek Kettering, who will be a peer when his father dies. In the meantime, he hasn't been a good husband. He's been unfaithful. Worse, he's been quite indiscreet with his latest paramour, a famous Parisian dancer named Mirelle. Papa is insisting Ruth get a divorce. No money, no Mirelle. Van Aldin is also urging his daughter not to be taken in again by a man who romanced her when she was younger -- until he broke them up.
Meanwhile, a very nice young woman named Katherine Grey from St. Mary Mead has inherited money from a grateful employer. She's always lived quietly and is looking for adventure. She finds herself on the Blue Train at the same time as Ruth Kettering. Ruth is troubled. Katherine is a good listener.
The Blue Train is visited with murder and robbery. Katherine is helping Hercule Poirot solve the case. There are some good twists. (
