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?
