This is proven to be the case later when Harriet’s apartment is gone through. They go to a motel room, and that gets ransacked as well. Someone wants that photo, if only to destroy the evidence. They will apparently stop at nothing until they get it. It’s that important to them. Who is to say what they will not stoop to while it is still out there?

With the secret plot to take out the prime minister of Austria, Sanders has more than enough on his plate to deal with. With a detail coming to mind that may help he and Harriet stay out of danger’s way., will they be able to avoid those out to get them until they catch them?
