Mrs. Pargeter's Point of Honour (2012)
“‘Bullion delivery, very hush-hush, transfer of a load of gold ingots from some arms deal a bunch of North London villains’d done with Nigeria.

The baggage handler who snitched reckoned the bung wasn’t big enough and he’d get a better deal from your husband. Which of course he did.... Always the soul of generosity your old man was, Mrs P.
‘Anyway, like as ever, the planning of the job was meticulous. Never left any angle uncovered, Mr P didn’t, sorted through everything, done dry runs, rehearsals, double-checks.

‘Right, so the whole thing’s planned. The lorry with its crate of “Tribal Artefacts”MoreLess
