Stolen (2010)
“Michael stood in one corner of the Blackpool library near a model replica of the town as he spoke to Molly on his mobile. Near as he could be certain, the model was over two hundred years old.
Several of the buildings had changed over the intervening centuries, but Glower Lighthouse, Crowe’s Nest—the ancestral home of Charles Crowe—Widow’s Peak, the library and the house where the police department had taken up residence all stood out. The firehouse was even on the same block, except that in the model the fire brigade was depicted with horse-drawn wagons instead of modern engines. Tall-masted ships stood in the harbor.
Each time he’d come to the library, Michael had been drawn to the model. It was one of the most intricately designed creations he’d ever seen and he couldn’t imagine the amount of time that had gone into its construction. The man who had painstakingly built the miniature town had to have been obsessed. According to the small brass plaque, it was Charles Crowe, the Crowe... family patriarch, who had done the work himself back in the eighteenth century.MoreLess
