Novo livro do Clube do Crime das Quintas-Feiras une suspense, emoção e humor para construir mistério sensível e cheio de reviravoltas O clima é de fim de ano, e um valioso objeto está sendo transportado clandestinamente pelo litoral da Inglaterra. No fim da rota, ele acaba parando nas mãos de um velho conhecido do Clube do Crime das Quintas-Feiras ― mas, quando o objeto desaparece e o homem é assassinado, um verdadeiro caos se instaura. E é aí que essa animada turma de aposentados entra em ação. Desta vez, o grupo de detetives septuagenários se lança em uma investigação no ramo das antiguidades, onde nem sempre se joga limpo. Achar um assassino não é moleza ― principalmente quando precisam estar sempre um passo à frente de traficantes, falsificadores e uma investigadora implacável ―, e Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron e Ibrahim ainda têm questões pessoais urgentes com que lidar. Com o passar dos dias, a sensação de que esse talvez seja o caso mais perigoso que já enfrentaram fica cada vez mais forte. Novas mortes se acumulam, a ameaça se intensifica e os quatro amigos não sabem em quem confiar. Teriam eles finalmente se deparado com um problema sem solução? Nesta nova aventura do Clube do Crime das Quintas-Feiras, Richard Osman aposta em uma boa dose de emoção sincera e momentos de humor capazes de trazer verdadeiras gargalhadas. O leitor pode até achar que desvendou o mistério em um momento ou outro, mas a história não termina até que se encaixe a última peça.
