When a middle-aged woman enters Lina Townend's antiques shop wanting to sell a white Beswick china horse which she claims is a cherished heirloom, Lina's instincts tell her to avoid the sale. Suddenly, wherever she goes, Lina sees the supposedly rare white horses. Something strange is afoot, but it is only the tip of the iceberg. Soon, with her business partner Griff laid up in hospital and her relationship with her boyfriend Morris floundering, Lina doesn’t know where to turn.

A former secretary of the Crime Writers' Association, Judith Cutler has taught Creative Writing at universities and colleges for over thirty years, and has run occasional writing courses elsewhere (from a maximum security prison to an idyllic Greek island). She has written over thirty crime novels, all renowned for their feisty and intriguing heroines, including Josie Welford, DS Kate Power, DCS Fran Harman and antiques dealer Lina Townend.
A slew of personal problems preoccupy Lina Townend in Cutler's bustling sixth mystery featuring the Kent antique dealer (after 2012's Guilt Trip). Business partner and mentor Griff Tripp is having a major heart operation; boyfriend Reginald Morris is ignoring her calls; her father, Lord Elham, is being even more demanding than usual; and the police are watching both Lord Elham and her mentor, antique dealer Titus Oates, for shady dealings. In addition, Lina is sure something is wrong with the Beswick model horse she's being offered, and she's getting strong vibes from a couple of miniature portraits buried in auction lots. When more of both start cropping up in various places, Lina's curiosity attracts dangerous attention. The antiques trade draws all kinds of interesting characters on both sides of the legal divide, and Cutler limns them all well, particularly those who straddle the line. Fans of Jonathan Gash's Lovejoy series should especially enjoy Lina's adventures. (Sept.)
