Christmas Mourning (UK)Paperback - UK, 19 December 2013

The UK is experiencing its worst winter for years. Catastrophic news for DI Harry Falconer, as he has rashly promised to spend Christmas with his sergeant, Carmichael, and Carmichael's rambunctious family, in Castle Farthing - only to find himself snowed in and spending a lot longer at chez Carmichael than is desirable. Without power or telephones, and Castle Farthing cut off from the outside world until further notice, Christmas Day greets them with a murder in St Cuthbert's Church, where the locum vicar has discovered, to his horror, one of Castle Farthing's residents nailed to a gigantic cross.
