Collecting wild bird eggs seemed like a harmless enough hobby for a Victorian gentleman. But the discovery of some very rare eggs in a Cotswold woodland brings out the worst in two collectors who both want them, regardless of the price they must pay. When the body of a man with a connection to both collectors is found in the forest, clock repairer Jacob Silver and his wife Sarah are reluctantly drawn into helping the police to crack a case where rivalry and obsession have led to murder.
'There for the Taking' is the thirteenth book in the Silver and Simm Victorian Mysteries series.
