Thieves! Berkley Prime Crime/$7.99/ Mystery/ ISBN 978-0425239278-Publishing date January 4, 2011
Plot Synopsis: When a slew of silver thefts hit the small town of Gipping-on-Plym, it’s up to aspiring investigative journalist Vicky Hill to figure out if the culprits are gypsies, tramps, or thieves…

Unaware that their temporary dwelling is also serving as the official gathering site for the upcoming annual “Morris Dance-a-thon,” the gypsies set up their illegal campground at The Grange, much to the dismay of almost everyone in town. And when silver is stolen shortly after the gypsies arrive, blaming the despised nomads makes more than a little sense.

But when the body of an unnamed woman is found in a shallow stream, Vicky suspects there’s a connection between the murder and the recent silver thefts. And since both her boss and the local police refuse to investigate, Vicky takes on the case by herself. It’s a criminal conundrum suited only for the mind of Vicky Hill, and she’s determined to uncover the answers and clinch her fourth national exclusive!
