When Chipwell antique dealer Philomena Barker is asked by Detective Inspector Robbie Dawkins to assist with identifying some stolen antiques, she's only too happy to help. It's not long before Philly and Robbie identify a pattern - someone is breaking into the homes of elderly farmers in North Yorkshire and stealing their treasured antiques. The investigation takes a deadly turn when their prime suspect is murdered, and Philly and Robbie will need all the help they can get if they're to solve this puzzle. With Robbie due to retire this case will be his last; but with the murderer one step ahead can Philly solve the case before it's also her last?
