"At once erudite and entertaining, these jaunty whodunits tag along after Lara McClintoch, a Toronto antiques dealer whose quest for ancient artifacts takes her everywhere from Africa to Ireland."

The Chinese Alchemist
Lyn Hamilton

A search for rare antiquities leads to an ancient formula for immortality that results in modern-day murder...

Antiques dealer Lara McClintoch is targeted by ruthless criminals while tying to recover an eighth-century Tang Dynasty silver box-with an alchemical formula for the elixir of immortality etched on the inside of the lid. The rare item holds the key not only to the mysterious death of a museum curator, but to Lara's own survival.
