Book excerpt: The Fifth Catrin Sayer Mystery. Sayer returns to art crime investigation with a promotion to detective inspector in the ‘elite’ Art and Antiques Unit at New Scotland Yard. Her first assignment is to join a major investigation into an international art crime ring. As she begins her new role she is also hand-picked by a senior Home Office bureaucrat to look into the origin of a painting found in a village in mid-Wales, in the home of a recently-deceased judge. As she balances the competing casework assigned, a deacon at the local church in the village, Tregynon, comes into her sights. John Farrell had been open about his past life of crime and imprisonment when he was appointed at St. Deiniol’s. But is there more, unshared? Bit by bit, between events in London, Dubai and a small village in Wales, Sayer unravels the secret of the painting and the burden still carried by the Powys Deacon.

Four months later the younger sister of the missing sailor becomes a student at Bangor University, nearby.

She is twenty-four at the time; keen, ambitious, trying to balance her work as a police officer with her interests as an artist, a ceramic decorator.

Janis Mitchell, a second-year student at Falmouth University in Cornwall, receives a shocking image ‘hacked’ into her Facebook page, one of her being viciously assaulted at knifepoint.

Worked into the image and partially buried is a vase, but no-one understands its significance. Detective Sergeant Catrin Sayer with the Art Crime Unit at New Scotland Yard is asked to help, based on her experience as an artist rather than as a formal member of the investigation team. She is drawn further into the strange case with the appearance of a second image of the student hacked into the website of the Tate Art Gallery.
