ARTHUR LYONS Other People's Money

ARTHUR LYONS – Other People’s Money. Mysterious Press, hardcover, 1989; paperback, 1990.

   Los Angeles private detective (L.A.P.I. for short) Jacob Asch is hired by a Turkish businessman to keep tabs on his daughter, who has come to L.A. with a Greek gentleman. The Turk even springs for two more investigators to assist in the surveillance, but, shortly after the first report, calls off the case.

   When one of the assistants suddenly turns up missing, Asch noses about a bit and discovers the body of the Greek gentleman, buried in the yard of a rented house, a discovery that unexpectedly propels him into the world of Stolen Artifacts and dealings in same conducted by prestigious museums and fanatic collectors.

   This one’s pretty good; lots of double-crossing, backstabbing, lying, cheating and everything else you look for in a Stolen Artifact book. Try it.
