Summary:
It looks like a tranquil Christmas scene in a cozy living room--log fire, brightly lit tree, sheepskin rug, Vivaldi on the record player--but the appearance is deceptive. Caroline Hartley, the woman lying on the couch, has been brutally murdered. Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks uncovers the unusual and disturbing past of a victim for whom secrecy was a way of life. He finds a multitude of suspects in this suspenseful, shocking and ultimately satisfying tale of family secrets, hidden passions and desperate violence.
