In A Rag, a Bone, and a Hank of Hair (1999), Lovejoy, as a favor to a friend, breaks his usual patterns and goes to London to check out who is passing off fake gemstones. There he is reminded of why he so despises the city. In this novel, he travels between the antiques markets of Bermondsey, Camden Passage, and Portobello and takes on a dangerous German entrepreneur responsible for the death of a fellow antique dealer and the destitute existence of the friend's wife.
