Paid And Loving Eyes: Jonathan Gash

Lovejoy XVI. When the antique trade is slow, you have to make ends meet in unusual ways. So Lovejoy is driving for Gazza Gaunt's disreputable assignation service. But when one of his customers, the beautiful Fiona, discovers his eye for the genuine article, he finds himself the toast of a rich set whose vices and interest in danger extend way beyond a casual tryst in the back of Lovejoy's van. Advising the rich on valuables is never easy, but when he discovers this set's previous advisors have ended up in hospital - or worse - Lovejoy decides to flee with the horse-mad Almira to France. Little does he realise that Almira is part of a plot and that France is the centre of the biggest antique scam in history.
