London: Macmillan, (1998). SIGNED hardcover first edition - When the widow of one of Mr. Pargeter's colleagues in crime becomes terminally ill and asks her help in returning stolen paintings to their rightful owners, Mrs. Pargeter is more than ready to carry on . . "It's like stealing in reverse - returning the works of art so that the owners never know where they have been and how they have reappeared.
There are, of course, a few troubling details, such as customs inspectors and security systems. There is also the fact that somebody else is after the paintings. And there is the minor problem of two policemen who are in pursuit." SIGNED on the title page. 265 pp. ISBN: 0-333730259.
