About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

While acting as a consultant for a movie about a British museum heist, Lovejoy, a promiscuous dealer/forger of antiques, is drawn into a gambado--i.e., a scam on a magnificent scale--involving heirlooms, death and a mysterious disappearance. "In irreverent, lively prose, Gash leads Lovejoy through an intricate plot that will challenge even the closest readers," said PW.
