In the picturesque village of Kibblesworth, DI Tom Stonem is dreaming of a quiet Christmas alone.

But in the shadow of the Angel of the North, a body lies waiting. The dead man is posed with a child's Christmas list in his pocket, and the first mysterious item - 1. No angel - is crossed off.

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?

An anti-cosy Christmas crime novel for fans of The Killer in the Snow and One by One.
