Matilda Gray is an expert on antiquities, especially the
Roman and Celtic artifacts found in Great Britain. But one
thing Matilda has learned is that such relics of time past
are not valued only by museums but also by unscrupulous
collectors, and the illegal trade in such treasures can be
deadly. Gareth March is a Scotland Yard detective who must
work—reluctantly—with Matilda to solve the murder of a
woman who knew too much about stolen antiquities. Solving
the murder will earn him a promotion. And more—perhaps a
greater treasure than Celtic gold is a relationship
appearing when he least expects it. The murder case, the
case of the stolen antiquities, and the treasure coming to
light at the excavation of a Roman fort are tied
inextricably together. At last Matilda and Gareth have to
stop arguing and begin a race against time to prevent
another murder. They do, after all, agree on one thing:
the risk of death makes life and love all the sweeter.
There's always time enough to die.
