But exposing the culprit of a pawn-shop robbery turns sinister when her investigation takes her to the wealthy neighborhoods of Harrogate - and murder is only one step behind.

So when a ransom note demands GBP1,000 for the safe return of the play's leading lady, Kate must piece together clues - and lure criminals out of their lairs.
