Death Ends All

Robin Hood never had it so good. Whenever he pulled off robbing the rich to assist the poor the sheriff of Nottingham seemed to be right on his tail. At least, that is what Chief Inspector Raymond Harper believed, as the growing number of elaborate robberies continued to occur.

He and Detective Inspector Elizabeth Bryant were stumped at the audacity of this band of robbers yet admired their techniques. Even SOCO admired their magic like abilities though the magicians were also tarnishing their reputation. It was one thing for a group of thieves to attack a bank truck in broad daylight and get away without a trace, it was another to pull off additional heists under their noses and not leave any evidence.

Of course, the merry men's signs of triumph plus the donations to charities didn't help improve the police's mood towards them. Then there were the newspapers and the public who lauded the thieves as heroes for attacking the greedy financial institutions. However, as Chief Inspector Harper mused, he realized something niggled at him.

The latest robbery was linked to a murder. That was odd, as previously it seemed that the robbers did their best to minimize harm to any victims involved. As additional robberies occur, each more daring and spectacular than the previous, Harper senses a different feel to the robberies that begins to morph into a possible lead but not before tragedy strikes his team.

Now the investigation was personal, not just to him, but to his entire team. As they begin to complete the puzzle, more questions develop resulting in a twist the Chief Inspector did not expect. .
