Rag, a Bone and a Hank of Hair - Jonathan Gash - Hardcover

"After almost twenty years of doing business on the dodgy side of the trade, Lovejoy is still a love & the joy he brings to his work is undiminished," said a recent review in The New York Times. In his twenty-first caper, mystery fans' favorite antiques dealer faces his biggest challenge ever: not just solving a murder, but also deciphering the knotty mysteries of fatherhood. In order to find out who's been passing off phony gemstones, Lovejoy needs to trawl the London markets. In between Camden Passage & Portobello, he pays a visit to his old friends Colette & Arthur Goldhorn, but he is in for a dreadful surprise--the Goldhorn's King's Road shop has been taken over by one Dieter Gluck, a handsome & elegant thug with bad breath. Thanks to him, Colette is on the street, her husband mysteriously dead & her fifteen-year-old son Mortimer's life at risk .... He's a handsome lad, too, with a familiar face & a genius for sensing genuine articles from fake. Lovejoy sets out to save the day, but getting on the wrong side of Herr Gluck turns out to be a very dangerous game indeed. Chock full of irresistible antiques lore & deliciously tricky tactics, A Rag, a Bone & a Hank of Hair brings a lively new dimension to a tried-and-true series.Gash, Jonathan is the author of 'Rag, a Bone and a Hank of Hair - Jonathan Gash - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780670885985 and ISBN 0670885983.
