[Mac Maguire 03] • The Weeping Women

Mac’s hit a new low. With only daytime TV to look forward to he agrees to help cranky old Monty Llewellyn-fforbes find out who broke into his house and stole an Easter egg. When he talks to the local police he finds out that there have been four other burglaries in the area where only chocolate has been stolen. Both Mac and the police suspect that there is far more to the break-ins than at first meets the eye. Following a tenuous lead he discovers that the crimes may have been connected to an incident in a Greek town just after the end of the Second World War. He eventually uncovers a dark secret from the past, so dark that it is still causing tremors seventy years later.

Mac also helps the daughter of a world famous artist open her father’s safe after his death. Does it really contain evidence of a crime being committed within the family?

Two cases linked by deception, the beauty of art and women’s tears.
