About the Book The world's first fox author, 'Book Eating Fox', returns with a fourth detective story after four years! A thrilling detective tale unfolds as they chase a gem thief in 'Book Eating Fox’s' real detective fairy tale!
In the story of a countess coveting others' possessions, we delve into the tale of human greed. The fourth detective novel of 'Book Eating Fox,' 'Jackie Marron and the Blue Eye Diamond,' unfolds in distant Italy. Jackie Marron's best friend, Alice's aunt, who runs a hotel in Italy, has a famous countess coming over, and the aunt has asked for protection. The countess wore a crown with a diamond, and she wanted to protect the countess and the diamond. Jackie Marron and Alice disguise their identities and stay as guests in the hotel. Despite their efforts, the diamond disappears, and the two detectives begin their investigation. The countess is remarkably attached to the diamond, even though it was not hers. The rightful owner of the diamond is revealed, and even when asked to return it, the countess refuses...
In fact, this story is inspired by the 'Cullinan Diamond' embedded in Queen Elizabeth's crown. Through this story, the author wanted to convey the message that one should not covet others' belongings and should return them to their rightful owners.

'Book Eating Fox' is a fable about the meaning and method of reading through fun disturbances caused by a fox who loves books too much. After reading a book, the fox sprinkles it with salt and pepper and eats it deliciously.

It is a work that sparkles with light satire and humor in pleasant sentences and comic pictures.
