Guilt Edged (2013)
“Killing time till the evening session, I headed back into Ashford, popping the Fiesta into the Vicarage Lane car park, not very far from Rob Sampson’s Antiques Emporium. As I said, he wasn’t a mate, but if he’d been landed with anything dodgy, he might want to know. I was jumping the gun a little, though, wasn’t I?
