The seventh book in Sujata Massey's Agatha and Macavity Award–winning mystery series is a witty, suspenseful story that takes its young sleuth into the Washington DC restaurant world. A dazzling engagement ring and the promise of a fresh start bring antiques dealer and sometime sleuth Rei Shimura to Washington, DC.

Book description
Antiikkikauppias ja harrastajaetsivä Rei Shimura on muuttanut lakimies-kihlattunsa Hughin luo Washingtoniin. Pariskunnan on tarkoitus asettua viimein aloilleen. Mutta pian alkaa tapahtua kummia ja Rein etsiväntaitoja tarvitaan kipeästi.

Eräänä päivänä Rei menee lounaalle serkkunsa Kendallin kanssa, minkä seurauksena hän saa tehtäväkseen sisustaa japanilaisen ravintolan. Päivää ennen ravintolan virallisia avajaisia Rein serkku häviää kuin tyhjään. Ravintolassa työskentelevä Andrea pyytää Reitä etsimään kauan sitten kadonnutta japanilaista äitiään. Selvittäessään katoamismysteereitä Rei joutuu vaarallisille vesille. Ja kun kaikki palaset alkavat loksahdella kohdalleen, Rei tajuaa, että on menettämässä kaikkein tärkeimmän.
