Lovejoy caught in plot to "authenticate" fake torcs Seems like you can't trust anyone especially in the antiques business. The Sleepers of Erin is another Lovejoy mystery ridiculously fast and violent. Nearly every character is corrupt and many antiques are fake. And don't get me started on how women fare in the Lovejoy series. So, for me it's time to move on. http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/2006937.html Lovejoy goes to Ireland this time, lured into a particularly implausible (though for once fairly comprehensible) scheme involving fake gold copies of a Celtic torc, and Lovejoy becoming very entangled with the women behind the scheme. As with the Hong Kong of Jade Woman, this Ireland is of an earlier time period than the one the book is ostensibly set in; but also (as indeed in most of his work) Gash largely avoids ethnic stereotypes. Can't quite say the same for his women though. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Belongs to SeriesLovejoy (book 7)
You know things are going badly when you've been stabbed, hospitalized and arrested for a crime that, not only did you not commit, you actively attempted to prevent. Top that off with a pending appearance in court before a judge whose wife you know rather better than he does, and you start to think that visiting an ancient Irish tomb with a gang of ruthless villains sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. All you have to do is to make sure that you don't end up joining the ancient Irish tomb's ancient Irish inhabitants. Nothing's ever that simple, though, is it? Not in my world, anyway. Women have a tendency to confuse matters and when you're dealing with a deranged scarecrow poet and an eastern European hit man whom you know for a fact has never been further east than Billericay in his entire life, things are confusing enough, don't you think?
