Silver Guilt by Judith Cutler
In Judith Cutler's Silver Guilt, Lina Townend is making a name for herself as an antiques dealer, the junior partner of her beloved old friend, Griff Tripp. On work experience with another dealer, she is accused of stealing an item she is selling for her father, the disreputable Lord Elham.
Her plight attracts the attention of Piers, a handsome fellow dealer, who falls in love with her and presents her with a wonderful ring. But are he - and the ring - genuine? Can she trust the kindly policeman who comes into her life? When violence threatens the only person she can really trust, Griff, Lina has to make a difficult decision...
