Epiphanies and Robberies Chapter 8: Lammas

Andrew stirs DC Harris to make contact following a letter about the art robberies, in the Dumfries Weekly. They are now cautious allies in sharing information and hunches, not least the possibility of a double strike occurring in the near future at Kirkcudbright. Anne-Marie, and her mother, along with Caitlin experience the curiosities of the Open Garden Scheme. Andrew is taken to a choral concert and afterwards persuaded by Anne-Marie that he should join a choir in Moniaive. Michael and Esme nudge towards a more harmonious ending of their marriage. But having figured out where and when the next break-in might occur, the three sleuths are thwarted when they go to the Kirkcudbright tattoo and firework display but see no signs of burglary or criminal activity.
