      About This Book

      It all begins when Tony Shelton is looking for the perfect gift for his fiancée. He finds himself paying an absurdly high price for a rare collection of poems written by her grandfather. A bow to family tradition, perhaps, but it leads Tony into a bizarre tangle of forgery claims, fantastic offers for the book—and, finally, robbery, violence...and murder.
