This stories of crimes carried out in 2023 are a series of heists aimed at stealing very high profile artefacts. These items are so important in national life, that some of the most senior figures in the establishment have to be involved in retrieving these items. Since all the narratives occur during the year, 2023, there is no point in referring to these establishment figures by just their job titles, Prime Minister, Archbishop of Canterbury, etc. since everyone will be aware of their actual names. Thus, the actual names of these figures are used in the narratives, the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, etc. However, it must be stressed that this is a work of pure fiction and the words spoken, attitudes displayed and the actions taken are purely inventions of the author. The author is satisfied that although fictitious, nothing written about these characters is in anyway detrimental to their integrity as respected figures of national prominence and has written to them to confirm that they have no objection to being featured in this way in the book. Any other characters who are not well-know public figures, are purely fictitious and any resemblance to any other person, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
