A Rag, a Bone, and a Hank of Hair: A Lovejoy Mystery

Lovejoy is not a fan of London, but a scheme involving fake gemstones sends him to the markets of Camden and Portobello to investigate. While there, he visits old friends Colette and Arthur Goldhorn and is horrified to discover that the Goldhorn's highly respected antiques shop has been taken over by a wealthy German businessman, Dieter Gluck. What's more, Arthur has died and Colette--who also happens to be an old flame of Lovejoy's--is living on the streets with her fifteen-year-old son. Lovejoy vows to avenge Arthur's death and restore Colette's business, but crossing Herr Gluck turns out to be a dangerous game.Jonathan Gash is the author of 'A Rag, a Bone, and a Hank of Hair: A Lovejoy Mystery', published 2001 under ISBN 9780140298574 and ISBN 0140298576.
