Description

Lois Meade has worked through all the days of the week, turning up clues and scrubbing up messes and murders in the village of Long Farden, but sleuthing is rarely a spotless endeavour. A series of robberies starts to plague the village and Lois' own daughter, Josie, is shaken when a thief steals 100 from a grocery shop till. Josie's policeman fiance is on the case, but when Lois' husband is cracked on the head when he interrupts a burglary in progress, the need to find out who's cleaning out Long Farden takes on a new urgency as things become increasingly violent.
