Originally published as Dragon Head.
A trove of Chinese treasure throws up a dilemma for Arnold and his team.
Should they keep it? Or sell it off to the highest bidder?
Enter Steven Sullivan: a suave young magnate with ties to the Far East.
His boss has more than a casual interest in the ancient Chinese artifacts. And he’s keen to take Arnold and his prickly coworkers out to dinner to seal the deal.
But Arnold has barely picked up his chopsticks when . . .
A gunshot explodes from the kitchen, killing the only other diner in the near-empty restaurant.
Steven leaps up in hot pursuit, to be grazed by a second bullet in a shady alley.
The killer escapes into the night, leaving Steven to walk away with his life.
A stroke of luck? Or a smokescreen for something more sinister?
Arnold won’t rest until he uncovers the truth.
But what if the next bullet is meant for him?
Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.

THE DETECTIVE
Planning Officer Arnold Landon is inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic credentials. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. A succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to more conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.
