Description The stakes are high when half-sisters inherit a book of rare stamps that may include the 'crown jewel' of stamp collecting – the Post Office Mauritius. These two tiny slips of paper, the One and Two Penny 'Post Office' stamps issued in 1847 from the island of Mauritius, are exceedingly valuable. It's the printing flaws that ratchet up the worth and make them 'interesting,' as one of the characters explains, 'just like the flaws in people.' However, the battle for possession takes a dangerous turn when three shady rival collectors enter the sisters' world, willing to go to any lengths to stake their claim on the find.
