Description: 1863. It all begins with the murder of a customs officer and in the days that follow there will be others, yet apart from the mode of their deaths there will be little to connect them. As if a multiple murderer isn't enough, Superintendent Jarrett, Inspector Grant and Sergeant Quinn of the Detective Department at Glasgow Central have to contend with upper-class thieves who target jewellery shops and an acquisitive archaeologist with a taste for the high life. But are these really separate issues, or could it be that there is a common link waiting to be discovered? And why should a seemingly worthless lump of stone attract the attention of ruthless men who will stop at nothing to locate the hiding place of Jupiter's Gold?--BOOK JACKET.
