I don't see the Lovejoy books, by Jonathan Gash, go on sale very often. In fact, I don't see most of them in e-book at all right now, although I have a number of them from several years ago - like 2020 and earlier.
However,
The Ten Word Game, which is the next to last in the series, is both available and on sale ($2.99) in the US at the moment. If you haven't read the series (which is really quite fun) and want to stick with e-books, I'm not sure I'd start it now, since only the last couple seem to be available in that format. So why start something you won't have many titles available in? But hopefully some e-publisher manages to pick them up again...

Quote:
A mystery in the long-running series featuring the well-known antiques "divvy" and general bad boy, Lovejoy.
Lovejoy cannot be said to have clean hands and a pure heart, flitting bee-like as he does from one flower of womanhood to the next, and straining the truth when necessary. But when it comes to the relics of history, be it a silver tea service or the gold buttons from Lord Nelson's second-best uniform coat, he cannot be topped.
In Jonathans Gash's The Ten Word Game, Lovejoy is hiding out from the law in a port city far from London. By a ruse, he is shanghaied aboard a luxurious cruise ship on its way to Russia. There a group of schemers feed him well, but hold him prisoner because they need his talents for their daring plan. They intend to steal Russia's legendary "amber room," wall panels and all, and sell it for ransom back in the U.K.
