<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Missing Rolls Royces, Renaissance fair revelry--and murder: "A witty, literate and charming mystery" featuring Boston's married art sleuths (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>). </b> <br> Sarah Kelling and her husband, Max Bittersohn, have made names for themselves tracking down stolen paintings, sculptures, and, when necessary, the occasional murderer. But this is the first time they have been asked to find a missing Rolls Royce. When Bill Billingsgate's prize 1927 New Phantom disappears, they head for his estate on the Massachusetts coast, arriving--to their horror--just in time for Billingsgate's annual Renaissance fair. Donning period dress, they grab pints of mead and start searching the crowd for the thief. Instead they find a corpse. When the local police bungle the investigation, Max and Sarah take it upon themselves to find the killer. In the course of their search, they confront a car thief, corruption at a radio station, and a horde of murderous bees. If this is the Renaissance, Max and Sarah can't wait to return to the present.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Another appearance by Sarah Kelling Bittersohn and her husband Max will please their many fans." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> "If this is your first meeting with Sarah Kelling, oh how I envy you!" --Margaret Maron, author of <i>The Buzzard Table</i> "Charm, wit, and Holmesian logic." --<i>AudioFile</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Charlotte MacLeod (1922-2005) was an international bestselling author of cozy mysteries.
