| Elizabeth Jones, vacationing from her New York publishing job, is off to do touristy things in Denmark-gawk at the Little Mermaid, stroll in the Tivoli... look for a missing person? The plane ride itself had turned out to be Kismet, introducing Elizabeth to her idol, Nobel Prize-winning historian and famed eccentric Margaret Rosenberg and her long-suffering son Christian. So when Margaret vanishes in Copenhagen, Elizabeth joins the irascible Christian in searching the city from underground crypts to the graves of queens. What they encounter is a baffling ransom demand for a bathrobe, not money. And what they dig up will connect a modern disappearance with an ancient artifact and the oldest of motives for crime. |
