Turning up missing is better than turning up deadInspector Peter Wyatt is out of town. This is inconvenient, because something is terribly wrong with Andrew Tillet and Sara Wiggins’s friend, antiquities dealer Baron Beasley—and he refuses to see a doctor or speak to anyone except Wyatt. A large man with usually-rosy cheeks and a fondness for exotic delicacies, Beasley now looks like a shadow of himself and can’t be coaxed out of bed.To Sara and Andrew, Beasley doesn’t look sick as much as deathly frightened—which is even more worrisome. What could possibly have driven the robust man into this state? Is it connected to a strange artifact he recently acquired that seems to have disappeared from his shop?Only Beasley knows, and he’s not telling—in fact, he’s disappeared from his room. Andrew and Sara race to find him, throwing themselves into their most dangerous case yet.
