It Was Not Gold

“It Was Not Gold” is a story relating to gold smuggling. A consignment of gold was intercepted and seized which was later on found to be a replica made of brass instead of gold, leading to suspicion of substitution. The testing was done based on an unusual plea made by a young lawyer before the court. Two different agencies conducted the investigation separately and bit by bit the mystery of missing gold was solved. Everyone in the gold trade, the lawyers and the officers, suspected that the young lady lawyer had prior knowledge that it was not gold. The suspense in the book is kept alive till the last page.
