In search of the holy grail.

In this book, Lovejoy has been told by a nice old man that he has access to the real Holy Grail! Lovejoy doesn't believe him (Do you think he was just born yesterday?), but when his new friend is murdered, Lovejoy knows that there may be something more to this. And at the very least, someone has to avenge poor Henry's death. One thing about a Lovejoy story - they are never boring. The reader picks up all kinds of info on antiques, and the weapons that are actually used in the story are always something new and unique. These books are delicious! Lovejoy is such a genuinely crooked, but loveable hero, that he captivates you as you read. It may be difficult for some to get beyond the British slang, but that too is charming in these little gems.

Likable scoundrel of an antique dealer, popularized on A & E.

Likable scoundrel Lovejoy the antique dealer searches for the impossible...the Holy Grail. Quite a bit different than the Lovejoy character popularized by the A & E Network's version. Full of the colorful characters of East Anglia's antique underworld. Extremely funny and a must read for antique lovers. Many Dick Francis readers seam to enjoy Gash's Lovejoy novels like the Grail Tree.
