Piece of Justice II
Imogen does a litle snooping around and finds that she knows the sister of the biographer who died. He was called Mark Zephyr and Imogen was at school with his sister. She talks to her and finds that Mark died suddenly of meningitis. She also finds the nephew of May Swann and he tells her that he is worried about his aunt's disappearance and feels she would never have abandoned her work in mid project.
Imogen decides to go to Wales, where Gideon spent the missing time in the 70's. Fran had gone away to try and find the village, but has not come back. Imogen worries. When she gets to Wales, she finds that it is a little village where she used to go for holidays in childhood, and drives there, and meets Gwenny, a farmer's daughter who works on the farm where the Quys used to stay. She tries to get some information on English people who live or have houses in the area. Then when she is walking, someone shoots her. She breaks her leg and the farmer's dog bites her. But she is looked after and finds that the young farmer who shot at her thought that she was a woman who has been pestering his family for some time. This woman had been chasing them up, trying to persuade them to sell her a quilt that's been in their family for a long time. She had even kidnapped the farmer's son, to try and scare them into giving up the quilt. But they held firm and hoped she had given up. Imogen is recovering from her broken leg and sees the famous quilt. It has a pattern that seems very unusual. She talks to the local police, and, spurred on by her inquiries, they search for Fran. They are amazed to find a body of a woman buried in the valley, but to Imogen's relief, it isn't Fran. She guesses that it is the body of May Swann. She contacts Cambridge and finds that Fran has returned safely..She gets a friend from college to drive her back to her home and tells Fran and her police friend Mike that she thinks there is something really weird and bad going on.
