The Theft of the Iron Dogs: A Lancashire Mystery

Chief Inspector MacDonald of Scotland Yard calls off his pursuit of serial coupon-racketeer Gordon Ginner to investigate a curious incident in Lancashire. The summer cottage of local farmer Giles Hoggett has been broken into and a seemingly random selection of items stolen including two iron fireplace dogs and a complete reel of salmon line. MacDonald thinks it’s a straightforward break-in but then quickly changes his mind as the situation spirals into contested land grabs for fishing between farmers, and when Gordon Ginner’s body turns up in a river! Can Macdonald, aided by the locals of Lunesdale, work out who broke into Hoggett’s cottage, helped themselves to his iron dogs, and killed Gordon Ginner?
