The Tavistock Lieutenant

The tenth and final novel in the Catrin Sayer series.

In the middle of family upheaval during the Covid pandemic, Catrin Sayer takes a career development assignment with the Devon and Cornwall Police. There, at the rank of superintendent, she chairs a reorganisation task force, a far cry from her former operational roles with the Metropolitan Police.

During her contract, the violent deaths of a man and his daughter in Tavistock are linked to an art theft. Art crime being Sayer’s core expertise, she suddenly has two roles: chair of the task force and oversight of the team investigating the murders. After one perpetrator is identified and arrested, Sayer’s actions to achieve further arrests place her career as a police officer at risk.
