"When the ex-Queen Nicoletta of Hirtenstein summons him to Rome, Greg is powerless to refuse. A Russian icon belonging to Signor Arditti's opera-singer wife Rini, has disappeared. He is initially reluctant to get involved, but when Liz Blair agrees to accompany him Greg is persuaded."
"When the ex-Queen Nicoletta, Gregory's redoubtable grandmother, summons him to Rome where she is redecorating the villa of an Italian politician, Greg is powerless to refuse. A Russian icon has disappeared. It appears that the value of the icon lies in the diamond frame that Rini had made for it out of a necklace from her days of glory. Greg is initially reluctant to get involved, not least because of the Arditti family's refusal to involve the police."
