A hoard of artifacts uncovered inside an old barn in Reno, Nevada galvanizes Vancouver antique dealers to search for missing treasure. When Catherine Chan, assistant to Regency Antiques owner Frank Ball and art expert Colin Fisher travel to a ranch to investigate the barn, they discover that valuable items are missing. Meanwhile, an estate sale in Vancouver pits the major antiques dealers against Ball, who has cornered the sale for himself. Set in 2007 against an impending economic market meltdown, The Road to Reno is a mystery that sheds light on the glamorous but ruthless world of the antiques trade.
