Description
A locked-room murder mystery set against the backdrop of Christmas 1938. English country house at the snowbound English countryside proves to be the perfect hunting ground for a determined killer. Sleuth and illusionist Joseph Spector investigates his most complex case yet, where nothing is as it seems. As sinister letters arrive at prominent judge Sir Giles Drury's home, suspicion falls on Victor Silvius, a man with a history of violence against Sir Giles. Meanwhile, Silvius' sister Caroline believes her brother will be murdered by none other than his old nemesis, Sir Giles. With the help of Scotland Yard's Inspector Flint and Joseph Spector, they must unravel the complex web of clues to uncover the truth. Trapped in a snowbound English country house with no clear escape route, the investigation becomes a desperate bid for survival. Can Joseph Spector's powers of deduction solve this intricate puzzle before it's too late?
