THE CROSS OF ST ANTOINE
Ain't life hard when you're a Watcher?
No sooner has Dawson got himself a beautiful girlfriend who
revolutionises his outlook on life than she gets murdered. In front of
his eyes. While investigating her death further, Duncan finds an
ancient gold cross on display in the Thorne Museum of Antiquities, the
very same cross that had been stolen from under his protection nearly
two hundred years before. What's more, when he sees the mysterious
Armand Thorne, Mac realises that this is no art collector - at least
he wasn't when they first met all those years ago...
