Lovejoy doesn’t mind making an occasional fake… But the wholesale theft of national treasures is not something he can go along with. So when ‘moonspenders’ – antiques poachers with hi-tech electronic metal detectors – start digging up the ancient buried treasures of his native East Anglia, it’s time for Lovejoy to take a stand.

As usual, there are some surprising complications, including a local gangster who insists that Lovejoy appear on a TV game show, a few suspicious deaths, a wedding, some local witches, and several women who can’t resist Lovejoy’s charms. But then, who can?

Praise for Jonathan Gash:

‘Irrepressible… bounteous entertainment’ Sunday Times

‘Lovejoy is up to his old tricks again… compelling stuff’ Today

‘Unabashedly amoral, witty and crammed with treasures of every sort… Pure, unadulterated Lovejoy’ Publishers Weekly
