He even leaves behind his signature black lotus flower in the safe to claim credit for the daring heist. The only problem is, when the necklace's owner is found dead the next morning, the black lotus flower is discovered at the scene, making the Black Lotus prime suspect nombre un. As the investigation begins to close in around him, Pierre Pelletier must decide between clearing his name and chasing his fortune and glory.
