Description

A Dragon statue. An ancient sword. A body in the orchard. What secret has remained hidden at Thornton Park for the last eighty years? It's 1927 in Victoria, Australia. A time after the Great War when women have more options opened to them. At a weekend house party at Thornton Park, Alexandra Thornton decides to break the news to her father that she wants to be an antiques dealer, like her father, grandfather and great-grandfather before her. Guests include Zhang Huo, the Chinese antiques dealer who, with his son, has brought a Ming dragon statue from China for Thomas Thornton, Alexandra's father. Benedict Archer, manager of Thornton Antiques in Melbourne, is also invited. When Edith Blackburn, her friend since childhood, points out to Alexandra that Benedict is attracted to her, Alexandra can't believe it. Then a body is found in the orchard, and before the weekend is over, a priceless artefact is stolen. Alexandra is determined to discover how these things are connected to the Ming dragon and the antiques her great-grandfather brought with him from Hong Kong so many years ago. What treasure is worth killing to possess?
