Message to previous owner signed by the author and signed by the author to title page. Romesh Gopal, sitting in the private dining suite of the Ritz, wasn't listening to his diamond-dealing cousin from Amsterdam. He was staring at the antique blue and white Chinese porcelain dinner-plate in front of him and dreaming up his next scam. All he would need was several thousand similar pieces and one eighteenth-century Dutch wreck sunk in two hundred feet of salt water and he would become a truly rich man. But how to make everything watertight? Foolproof, that is. Suddenly he saw it clearly. It was all a question of lateral thinking. Applied vertically. Abandoning property development, he gathers together his fast-driving assistant Nigel Carlton, his nubile daughter Sharmila, and the rest of the deep-sea treasure-hunting team, and heads for the blue-green waters of the Outer Hebrides. Moving at speed, the Gopal team and their converted trawler cross lines with salmon fishermen, solve the mystery of the sinister White Lodge, and triumph over some murderous rivals, until they present the 'find' at a truly explosive press conferne. All that remains thereafter is to get it (and themselves) back to the London auction rooms and they will become multi-millionaires.191 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
