#4 in the Utterly Crime Series with a strong feel of rural England. In the autumn of 2011, sleepy Mid Suffolk wakes, to the news that a man, has been found hanging in a reclamation yard near Bury St Edmunds. Within days, a bronze statue is stolen and a broken automaton arouses suspicion. Chrissie, Nick & Matt, friends since a carpentry course at Stowmarket's Utterly Academy, find themselves caught up with a network dealing in stolen metal and scrap. Can there be a connection? Chrissie's boyfriend, DI Clive Merry, soon finds that there may be.
