Description

In the depths of winter, a chilling discovery is made in Brighton. Two children, buried under the snow, bring a gruesome case to the attention of DI Stephens and his partner Max Mephisto. The press dub it 'Hansel and Gretel', a nickname that hints at the darker themes at play. As Stephens delves into the case, he uncovers a web of clues that lead him to the world of theatre and performance. An unfinished script, penned by the missing girl, Annie, holds a key to the mystery. But can Stephens and Mephisto unravel the tangled threads of Annie's final performance, or will they be misled by the shadows of the theatrical world? The investigation takes Stephens and Mephisto into the heart of the city's post-war underbelly, where the lines between reality and fantasy blur. As the case unfolds, Stephens must navigate a complex landscape of suspects and motives, all while confronting the darker aspects of human nature. Will he be able to uncover the truth behind the 'Hansel and Gretel' case, or will the truth remain shrouded in smoke and mirrors?
