Soon after, the museum's wealthy owner is also found dead, in his stables. <p/> DCI Harry Nelson is called in to investigate, thrusting him into Ruth's path once more. When threatening letters come to light, events take an even more sinister turn. But as Ruth's friends become involved, where will her loyalties lie?
