Jin is back and so are nearly all of the colorful characters I loved from the first installment.  Like the first book, this is set in the Scottish town of Dumfries and it is just as picturesque and engaging.  Also like the first book of the trilogy, this weaves together several different cases, red herrings, loose ends and mysterious coincidences.  Just when I think I have it figured out, a new leaf is turned and a greater part of the mystery is revealed.  This installment opens with an usual request for Jin to settle an accident, a stabbing of an old school friend and a death that might not be of natural causes, like everyone else assumes.  As usual, Jin is there to unravel it all.  This book kept me guessing until the very end and I really enjoyed seeing what continues to happen in the lives of Jin and his circle of friends.  A wonderful read and a delightful detective story.The Inadvertent Thief (The Thief)
