 The Mystery of the Missing Icon

The Mystery of the Missing Icon

The Salisbury Murders: book five

When flower festival director Stephanie is found strangled inside Salisbury Cathedral, suspicion quickly falls on Sue Barclay, the woman who discovers her body. But amateur sleuths Meg and Lauren refuse to believe Sue is guilty – and soon uncover a tangled web of adultery, corruption and environmental concerns over a proposed housing development.
Then there’s the stolen icon.
Could its disappearance be connected to the murder, or is something far more sinister at work? As Meg and Lauren delve deeper, they find links to an organised crime network operating on the dark web.
Their investigation soon puts everyone in danger. Old friends Jack and Albert become embroiled in the case, with assault and kidnapping following close behind. After a second callous murder and a terrifying race against death, can Meg and Lauren prevent this case from spiralling out of control?
And, when the final arrests are made, there is yet one more twist to come.
