Lamb is the greatest informant Harpur has ever dealt with ? might be the greatest informant any police officer has ... more »ever dealt with ? and although Jack ended this arrangement some time ago, Harpur still feels indebted to him.

But their plans are complicated by local big-time crook Ralph Ember, who is on the lookout for some art to elevate his gentleman?s club, The Monty; and who else would he visit to procure this art but Jack Lamb? Add to the mix odd-job man and stolen-art procurer Basil Gordon Loam ? aka Enzyme ? who Harpur and Iles would very much like to see locked up, and things start to get complicated indeed.« less
