Beau, Digby and John Geste were present when Lady Brandon showed her dinner guests the "Blue Water". Suddenly the lights went out and the fabulous gem vanished. Shortly after, the Gestes disappeared, too. Beau wrote his confession first. Next Digby. Then John. All three claimed to be the thief. Each fled to the same famous hiding place - the French Foreign Legion. But who had the sapphire? Beau? Digby? Or John? Their villainous commanding officer wanted the answer - and he wanted it bad enough to kill! The dramatic story of the French Foreign Legion, where men hid from the law or a woman - but never from death!

He is remembered best for Beau Geste, a much-filmed book of 1924, involving the French Foreign Legion in North Africa. This was one of 33 novels and short story collections that he wrote, mostly dealing with colonial soldiering in Africa. While his fictional accounts of life in the pre-1914 Foreign Legion are highly romanticized, his details of Legion uniforms, training, equipment and barrack room layout are generally accurate, which has led to unproven suggestions that Wren himself served with the legion.
