Lovejoy is working, illegally of course, in a New York bar, but nothing can keep him from his beloved antiques. The divvie's casual recognition of zircons paraded as priceless diamonds starts him on a trail leading him to the deadly mysteries of the highest stakes card game in America. But first Lovejoy has to buy himself into the game. Enlisting the help of a Manhattan hooker and a gun-toting seven-year-old, he sets about raising a sum from museums, auction houses and private collectors using his usual desperate wiles. But by the time he reaches California, he realises that it is not only his hard-earnt mega-bucks on the table, but his own sweet skin.
