Philly Barker Investigates (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645073577)

Join antique dealer and amateur sleuth Philomena Barker as she tackles her first case.

When Chipwell antique dealer Philomena Barker spies a nineteenth-century painting of Whitby peeking out of a box of odds and sods at a York auction centre, she knows there's something special about it. She doesn't know that the painting holds a deeper secret - one that someone else would prefer to stay hidden.

When her dealership is broken into and an elderly customer violently assaulted in his own home, Philly joins forces with Inspector Robbie Dawkins to solve the mystery before anyone else is hurt.

But does Philly have what it takes to uncover the truth - or will her amateur sleuthing put her in harm's way?
