As a young Detective Inspector, Andy is called out to a remote village in the south of Northamptonshire. Officers are at the scene of an armed burglary and discover that around 65 pieces of valuable art have been stolen with a current value of around £3 million pounds. Included in the haul are 5 paintings by the renowned British artist L S Lowry.
Andy and his team have to deal with a victim who considers their privacy paramount and must consider the very real possibility that this is an ‘inside’ job.
However, with the help of the victim, the investigation features on the BBC’s Crimewatch programme. A vital tip off following that broadcast leads the team to the Isle of Sheppy where an incredible discovery results in Andy having to work hand in hand with elements of the criminal world in an effort to rescue the paintings and round up the offenders.

I was a police officer in Northamptonshire for 30 years, rising from the rank of Police Constable to Detective Chief Inspector and was an accredited Senior Investigating Officer, licensed by the Home Office to investigate the most serious of offences.
During my five or more years as part of the Homicide and Major Crime Team these skills were in constant use. Later, as the deputy head of the the Professional Standards department (the real life 'Line of Duty'), I was able to use these skills again.
I am a keen cyclist and open water swimmer as well as a qualified Open Water Lifeguard.
I have been delivering my presentations for many years or more to a wide range of groups such as the WI, Rotary Clubs, local history societies, Probus and many other social groups. I get many repeat bookings from groups which suggests that they enjoy my talks.
All of my talks are delivered by way of Powerpoint and I have all of my own equipment to do so. Many of the talks are supported by documents and photographs for your audience to examine.
