About the book: 2007 / She is a girl to whom nothing will happen. He knows how to create problems out of nowhere, he knows how to get into trouble, but he always gets away with it. She has a strong guardian angel. She also knows how to be a good friend and reliable support. He won’t leave you in trouble, won’t sell you, won’t gossip behind someone else’s back. Strange girl. And she knows how to choose friends who are as strange as herself. For example, the guy who saved her from certain death. An eccentric with glasses, always stumbling while walking... But it is he who will become her companion in the pursuit of the blue diamond. A diamond that belonged to the queen of a long-vanished kingdom. What will happen to them at the end of this chase? Will the diamond, over which the ancient curse of the pharaohs hangs, unite or separate them?.. * * * What can happen to a person near his own entrance? A lot! Especially at night! I lost my pectoral cross, went to look for it under the windows of our house and... witnessed a murder! I sat in the bushes until the morning, waiting for certain death. But God was merciful; the killer didn't notice me. And the dying man suddenly grabbed me by the hand and thrust a piece of paper on which only four short sentences were written. If only I knew that this piece of paper would lead me on the trail of a legendary diamond that belonged to the Egyptian pharaohs! A diamond whose last owner was the queen of a vanished state! A diamond that, according to legend, always brought misfortune to its owners! But I didn’t know that the shadow of the curse was already hanging over me. How will this crazy race for the blue ghost end??..
