Missing Rolls Royces, Renaissance fair revelry--and murder: "A witty,
literate and charming mystery" featuring Boston's married art sleuths
(Publishers Weekly).
Sarah Kelling and her husband, Max Bittersohn, have made names for
themselves tracking down stolen paintings, sculptures, and, when
necessary, the occasional murderer. But this is the first time they have
been asked to find a missing Rolls Royce. When Bill Billingsgate's prize
1927 New Phantom disappears, they head for his estate on the
Massachusetts coast, arriving--to their horror--just in time for
Billingsgate's annual Renaissance fair. Donning period dress, they grab
pints of mead and start searching the crowd for the thief. Instead they
find a corpse. When the local police bungle the investigation, Max and
Sarah take it upon themselves to find the killer. In the course of their
search, they confront a car thief, corruption at a radio station, and a
horde of murderous bees. If this is the Renaissance, Max and Sarah can't
wait to return to the present.
