Polly Pepper has played to packed houses, dazzled on television, and conquered Hollywood with her wit and charm. But nothing prepares her for the drama of hosting a live antiques show in her very own English castle.

When the popular Relic or Rubbish descends on Thistlethorne Lodge, the cameras are rolling, the experts are squabbling, and Polly is ready for her close-up. Then the show’s clock specialist winds down permanently—in front of millions of viewers.

Timothy Trousdale came to New York to become a rich and famous bestselling author. Instead, he keeps tripping over murdered bodies, in this sharp, humorous cozy mystery.
