The Thai Amulet
When Will Beauchamp locked the door of his antique shop in Bangkok for the last time and quietly disappeared, he left behind a family in Toronto and a lot of questions.
When fellow antiques dealer Lara McClintoch tries to find him in Thailand, she faces suspicion and deceit.
Did Will run away? Was he involved in corruption? Why was he fascinated by an old murder case? Now people he knew are under attack.
Lara regrets she started this search, but she won’t stop looking.

“In this seventh and best yet of her mystery series featuring Toronto antiques dealer Lara McClintoch author Lyn Hamilton takes readers for a spin through a moment in Thai history and a corresponding period of wealth, intrigue, corruption and betrayal in the present.
