Synopsis

With Christmas only days away, the reclusive Bernie Quist expects a quiet festive season, while his teenage assistant Watson has other plans. Their routine is disrupted when three chemists die and the fiancé of one of them asks Quist to investigate what appears to be a suicide.

As the case develops, doubts emerge about the victim’s engagement and the enquiry deepens after their employer is killed. The trail draws them towards a shadowy cartel of northern businessmen, a forgotten Egyptian cult and something ancient moving through York’s medieval alleyways, while Watson becomes increasingly certain Quist is concealing a secret of his own. Set against a wintry York, this contemporary Sherlock Holmes-inspired mystery is suited to readers who enjoy detective fiction with a darker edge.
