He hopes to keep a low profile by masquerading as Jonno Rant, an island local, but that plan backfires when the local police start to keep tabs on him and the real Jonno Rant shows up.

A Rag, a Bone, and a Hank of Hair by Jonathan Gash

While there, he visits old friends Colette and Arthur Goldhorn and is horrified to discover that the Goldhorn's highly respected antiques shop has been taken over by a wealthy German businessman, Dieter Gluck. What's more, Arthur has died and Colette-who also happens to be an old flame of Lovejoy's-is living on the streets with her fifteen-year-old son. Lovejoy vows to avenge Arthur's death and restore Colette's business, but crossing Herr Gluck turns out to be a dangerous game.

 

The Sin Within Her Smile : A Lovejoy Mystery by Jonathan Gash

Prey Dancing : A Dr. Clare Burtonall Mystery by Jonathan Gash

With all the wit and high-stakes suspense of his Lovejoy series, Jonathan Gash's debut Dr. Clare Burtonall mystery, Different Women Dancing, was published to rave reviews. A "smashing new crime novel," enthused The New York Times Book Review. In a dramatic departure from the irascible Lovejoy, Gash casts smart and sensuous female cardiologist Dr. Clare Burtonall in the lead, and a high-priced male prostitute, Bonn, as her sensitive and charismatic sidekick. The result is incendiary. Prey Dancing finds Clare working the late shift in the city hospital's Infectious Disease Unit, where a young woman, Marie, dying of AIDS, breathes her last with a one-word message to be delivered to her boyfriend: "Forgive." Ironically, Clare's search for the man makes her the target of his sworn vengeance for Marie's death, drawing her into the unfamiliar terrain of the city's dark underworld. Once again Bonn, with the street savvy of a rented Romeo, provides Clare with his unique kind of insight and intimacy to help save them both from a brutal fate.
