It is thought to be a heart attack until the angina medication he took at the onset of the attack is discovered to be a placebo; it was totally ineffective. A drug 'baron' in Glasgow searches out the services of a friend of his late father, an art forger. He has a job for him.Detective Constable Catrin Sayer is now nearly a year into her assignment with the Art Crime Unit at New Scotland Yard. The journey north to Glasgow on a new case is tied to both the death of the clergyman and a rumour of theft or fraud associated with paintings by a group of artists known as 'The Scottish Colourists'.

The First Catrin Sayer Mystery.A cruise ship officer from Hong Kong disappears during a port stop in Holyhead on the North Wales coast and a missing person investigation turns up no leads.

The Metropolitan Police Art Crime Unit wants to know why she is in the UK and whether it has any bearing on their case. Constable Catrin Sayer is looking for promotion and a new role away from drug squad work in Brixton.

At dawn on a July morning, the body of a Roman Catholic priest, Duncan Aster, is found in the shallows of a lake in Cumbria, UK. His final email refers enigmatically to a woman called Susan and an Anglican priest from Ontario. The priest, Andrew Moore, turns out to be Aster's last known contact. He won't assist the police inquiry nor will he speak about the matter with his bishop. As the battleground between Bishop Azikiwe and Reverend Moore develops, Cumbria Police decide to send an officer to Canada to observe a disciplinary hearing held in Hamilton, Ontario; a court of canon law.
