The Killer’s Christmas List

All they want for Christmas is you . . .

'This should be on every crime reader's Christmas wish list' CHRIS WHITAKER, bestselling author of We Begin at the End

In the picturesque village of Kibblesworth, DI Tom Stonem is dreaming of a quiet Christmas alone.

But in the shadow of the Angel of the North, a body lies waiting. The dead man is posed with a child's Christmas list in his pocket, and the first mysterious item - 1. No angel - is crossed off.

When a second body is found - a woman, stabbed in the abdomen after her work Christmas do - Stonem is convinced there's a grim connection between the crime scenes and the seemingly innocent list. 2. Red partee dress. Could this be a murderer's twisted code?

As a blizzard rages in the Tyne & Wear countryside, the body count is snowballing. Can Stonem stop the killer before they get everyone on their Christmas list?

An anti-cosy Christmas crime novel for fans of The Killer in the Snow and One by One.
