The decision to open the pub the next day was taken out of her hands, it turned out. Before anyone had risen in the McCabe household, there was a loud knock on the door. Fiona heard it first. She hurried out of bed and rushed down the stairs just as their early-morning caller began to knock again.

“I’m coming,” she muttered as she threw on the fluorescent pink bathrobe that had been hanging on the back of her bedroom door.

She threw open the door, expecting to see the courier—he was a frequent visitor to the house thanks to Kate’s obsession with online shopping. Instead, she was met by the eager faces of the entire Ballycashel police force—all three of them.

“You’re out early. Was there overtime going or something?”

“We tried the door of the flat. There was no answer. As a courtesy, we’ve come here.”

“What’s this about?” Fiona asked, stifling a yawn.

“We have a warrant to search the premises at 2 Mill Street, Ballycashel.”

Fiona recoiled. “What? That’s my pub.”

“And the residential unit above it,” Sergeant Brennan said, clearly relishing the moment.

By now, her parents and two of her brothers had crowded behind her at the door and some of their early bird neighbours had stopped at the gate to rubber-neck.

“What’s this about, Sergeant Brennan?”

“Here,” he said, thrusting a sheet of paper at her. “You can read it for yourself. Now, I’ll ask you to open the doors for us as a courtesy. Otherwise I’ll be forced to break the door down.”

Behind her, Marty snorted. “You? Break the door down? And how would you manage to do that?”

Sergeant Brennan ignored him. “You might want to get changed out of… that thing, whatever it is. You have two minutes.”
