Publisher's Summary

Tansy Clark is intrigued when her father, a retired police officer, shows her articles in the newspapers about two assistant curators who have both died suddenly of gastric influenza at a time when no epidemic exists.

Tansy begins her own investigations and finds that beneath the respectable façade of London museums and art galleries, there are illegal and dangerous goings on. When her young maid, Tilde, is followed home, and Tansy herself is attacked whilst out walking, she decides to go undercover and is soon involved in a story that has its beginnings 30 years earlier, involving the statue of a biblical queen, Vashti.
