'The Eye of Ra' (4 Parts) by Michael Winder

When a priceless diamond called ‘The Eye of Ra’ goes on display in London, Tarot learns that the diamond has magical properties, and that its light is capable of turning people into six-inch-high chalk statuettes. The diamond is also sought by Ceribraun, a crippled chess-master, who, aided by his master computer and his butler, Fredericks, begins a devious campaign to steal the diamond. He kidnaps Mr. Sweet and leaves behind a chalk statuette of the bookseller as part of his scheme to use Tarot to obtain the jewel; however, when the statuette of Mr. Sweet is accidentally smashed, Tarot and his friends believe him to be dead. Ceribraun then captures Lulli and replaces her with a figurine; however, she is able to inform Tarot via their telepathic link that she is being held in the vaults beneath the house of Sir John Packham. Tarot attempts a rescue, but is swiftly trapped on a huge chessboard between two giant robotic chess-pieces, which are slowly crushing out of him…
