Midsummer Mink

By Peter Coke


The amiable, aristocratic crooks of Breath of Spring are at it again. Brigadier Rayne deploys his charity campaigns with military expertise, but little monetary success until Nan is passed a mink coat by a crook on the run. This inspires Rayne and his cohorts to become modern Robin Hoods running a meticulously organized receiving system for stolen furs and giving their profits to charity. Gradually operations become more dangerous. Finally with the house full of furs and a police inspector making inquiries, they decide to retire temporarily.
