Beschreibung

When the heir to the Maharajah of Kashmir, met a woman called Maudie in London soon after the Armistice of 1918, he would end up writing a cheque for the equivalent of £14,000,000 - the biggest blackmail payment in history. Swindler Monty was behind the sting and his partner Rodolphe would later pull off another caper - buying the Enigma Code!
