in Latin intrigue Vicky Bliss -- as they were precisely intended to
do. Vicky recognises the handiwork of her former lover, jewel thief
John Smythe, and she takes the bait, eagerly following Smythe's lead
in the hope offinding a lost treasure. But the trail begins at a
priceless fifth century chalice which will place Vicky at the mercy

the distant past.
