Synopsis

Lovejoy found himself in a predicament. The field adjacent to his church-to-be, he claimed, concealed a mosaic floor from a Roman villa. Such an assertion was met with widespread disbelief, yet the county archaeologist had approved the plans based on Lovejoy's insistence. Now, he raced against time to prevent the developer’s progress. Adding to the complexity of his task, a chance encounter with Jane, recently separated from Alexander, offered a fleeting distraction.
