Description

From author Peter Robinson comes this gripping thriller—in the tradition of Louise Penny and Elizabeth George. Although set in a picturesque Yorkshire village during the Christmas season, one of its residents will not be celebrating the holiday. Chief Inspector Alan Banks knows that secrecy can sometimes prove fatal, and secrets were the driving force behind Caroline Hartley's life…and death. A beautiful enigma, she was brutally stabbed in her own home three days prior to Christmas. Leaving her past behind for a new love affair, she had mystified more than a few. And now she is dead, clothed only in unshared mysteries and blood. In the season of giving and forgiving, Banks is eager to absolve the innocent of their sins. That must include Caroline's killer among the spared.
