Pre-Owned The Judas Pair (Hardcover) 0060114649 9780060114640

Lovejoy has a strictly thieves? code of honor, and he's a brute to his (many) girlfriends. But what he doesn't know about antiques isn't worth knowing, which has earned him a certain grudging respect among the grifters and antique-dealers of East Anglia. And it could earn him a gloriously fat commission. A rich, mysterious collector wants Lovejoy to find the notorious ?Judas pair, ? a legendary set of flintlock dueling pistols. Crafted in the 18th century, they were most recently used to murder the collector's brother. As Lovejoy sees it, there's only one small problem: They never actually existed. Oh, and one other problem: The Judas pair may be entirely imaginary, the antique dealer's Philosopher's Stone. But nevertheless, someone is willing to kill to prevent Lovejoy from finding them.
