Lovejoy's gift for spotting the genuine article is well known in the antiques world; his flair for spotting willing women is equally legendary. And when his good pal Prammie Joe is suspected of stripping a mansion of its valuable antiques, he's willing to exhaust his expertise in both of these fields to track down the true mastermind behind the heist.
But when he finds Joe dead--and accusing fingers are pointed at Lovejoy himself--he has even more impetus to smoke out the criminals. Buying, selling, and faking antiques to draw out corrupt dealers, Lovejoy discovers a long-simmering plot of revenge that may make the next corpse his own.
