When a painting vanishes from a maritime museum – and a dead body is found nearby – the newly established Lockwood Antique Hunter's Agency are called to investigate.
Following a lead that takes them aboard a glamorous antiques cruise sailing toward the Red Sea in Jordan, they quickly discover that the ship's art gallery is filled with stolen antiquities. In chasing a murderer with a stolen painting, they may have found something more sinister than they could've imagined . . .
Their hunt soon turns deadly when they learn that the enigmatic and dangerous art trafficker named The Collector could be on board. But on a ship full of antiques enthusiasts – plus some unexpected familiar faces – will Freya and Carole be able to discover The Collector's identity and stop his murderous plans before the ship docks?
Or will the killer strike again?
