The Stolen White Elephant

 ""You know , in Siam the royal white elephant is very important. It is sacred to kings, and only kings can have a white elephant. And white elephants are more important than the king." ... After a misunderstanding between the countries the King of Siam decides to send the Queen of England a present. ...-then my problems begin. I get a phone call in the middle of the night: the white elephant is stolen!" (Quotation from pp. 11-12)

 This is a detective story. A white elephant which is very respected as the royal in Siam(Thailand) is stolen when the deliverers stop to rest in NY because the elephant becomes weak.
