The month opens with news of a second robbery. This time it’s rare antiquarian books that have been stolen from a private collection in Galloway. Andrew’s interest is soon piqued, but he is unaware that the thieves are already goading the beleaguered DC Harris, who now has a another case on his hands, but little progress to show for it. Caitlin and Esme meet for coffee and a quizzical conversation, but Michael and Esme’s attempted resolution of their personal problems goes badly adrift. The June weather is superb and a far cry from the floods of January. Michael presses forward with a new research proposal, and Anne-Marie’s composition takes on shape and colour. As the month ends, there’s another twist of the knife for DC Harris.
