Book description
Tim Lacy is a security expert and denizen of the art world which teems
with dubious dealers, unscrupulous collectors, fraudsters, crime bosses
and bona fide connoisseurs, all in pursuit of the rare, the beautiful
and the valuable.
In his sixth outing, Lacy is asked to install the latest
intruder-tracking and warning devices in a Scottish island castle, but
the owner is found dead two days later. Why are the police warned off
the investigation, and where do drug-runners and the Special Branch fit
in? After graduating from Cambridge, Derek Wilson spent several years
travelling and teaching before becoming a full-time writer, broadcaster
and author of historical non-fiction. As well as many non-fiction
publications, he has written several fictional mysteries, which include
the Tim Lacy and Nathaniel Gye series.
