From Jonathan Gash, his 20th Lovejoy mystery and repackage of The Sin Within Her Smile What begins as an adventure through the world of art and antiques turns out to be a wild and fatal journey in this Lovejoy favorite.
When Lovejoy himself is put on the block among marmalades and lawnmowers at a charity auction--and billed as "Slave for a Day"--he's bought for an outrageous sum by a rich and luscious mystery lady. Soon he is drawn into a fraud involving early Celtic gold in Suffolk--but the joke becomes deadly earnest when an overinquisitive friend of his is murdered. And what begins as an adventure through the world of art and antiques turns out to be a wild and fatal journey. Jonathan Gash triumphs again in a fast-paced, thrilling, hilarious tale that will, as always, enthrall antiques buffs and mystery readers alike.
