December 1938, and storm clouds hover once again over Europe. Josephine Tey and Archie Penrose gather with friends for a Cornish Christmas, but two strange and brutal deaths on St Michael's Mount - and the unexpected arrival of a world-famous film star, in need of sanctuary - interrupt the festivities. Cut off by the sea and a relentless blizzard, the hunt for a murderer begins.

Pivoting on a real moment in history, the ninth novel in the Josephine Tey series draws on all the much-loved conventions of the Golden Age Christmas mystery, whilst giving them a thrilling contemporary twist.

As the snow falls, the group of friends find themselves stranded on the picturesque island, cut off from the mainland and with no way to call for help. With tensions running high and the clock ticking, they must work together to uncover the truth behind the murders and find a way to escape before it's too late.

As they delve deeper into the mystery, they discover that the murders are linked to a powerful and influential family, and that the film star's arrival on the island is not as innocent as it seems. With danger lurking around every corner, Josephine Tey and Archie Penrose must use all of their skills and resources to solve the case and bring the murderer to justice.

In the end, the group of friends emerges stronger and more united than ever before, having faced down the challenges of the past and emerged victorious. The novel is a testament to the power of friendship, courage, and determination in the face of adversity, and will leave readers eagerly anticipating the next installment in the Josephine Tey series.
