In the richest neighbourhood of Minneapolis, two elderly women lie murdered in their home, killed with a pipe, the rooms ransacked, only small items stolen. It's clearly a random break-in by someone looking for money to buy drugs. But as he looks more closely, Davenport begins to wonder if the items are actually so small or the victims so random; if there might not be some invisible agenda at work here.

Strange combination of Antiques Road Show meets serial killer and quilting clubs. He knows how to write a good thriller, this was less fun than others but okay.
