Synopsis

Bernie Quist works as a consultant detective from Baker Avenue in York, taking on unusual investigations with an assistant known as Watson. This Watson is a streetwise youth from the Grimpen housing estate, and their mismatched partnership repeatedly draws them towards the supernatural—a world Quist knows closely, for reasons he keeps hidden.

As Christmas approaches, York is lit by festive markets and winter weather, but a seemingly ordinary case pulls the pair to an isolated village on the Northumbrian coast. There, two figures from the past are waiting: a notorious practitioner of the black arts, and someone they had hoped never to encounter again. Described as a festive tale of gruesome murders, black magic and ballroom dancing, it is suited to readers who enjoy dark, peculiar mysteries with a supernatural edge.
