A picture-perfect snowbound hotel, a crime that won’t stay buried, and a killer with no interest in a white Christmas. Switzerland, 1929. When super sleuth Lord Edgington and his grandson Christopher head to a grand hotel in the Swiss Alps, they hope for roaring fires, wintry walks and plenty of Christmas cheer. What they couldn’t have imagined was a hotel full of ex-criminals and whispers of a famous jewel thief. After Christopher comes a whisker away from death and a guest is found murdered on the mountain, the master detectives must solve the long-buried mystery of a princess’s stolen tiara if they are to catch the killer. With a cast of conniving suspects to choose from, the body count rises, the snow falls, and the duo must race to stop the killings before Christmas day comes.
