It’s a few days before Christmas. Snow is coming, the lights are lit. And a madman is stalking Central London… He’s strangling his victims. Stringing them up like Christmas decorations. Decorations are the last thing on DI Erica Swift’s mind. She doesn’t like Christmas or the unnecessary pressures that come with it. Plus this year she won’t even have her daughter home… Except she won’t be alone. She’ll be with her team. On the trail of a killer. A killer who’s murdered a Christmas shopper out celebrating the festive season. A killer who’s been caught on camera. But who’s clever enough to keep his – or her – face hidden. It’s going to be A Grave Christmas for Erica. Even the twinkling of fairy lights can’t keep the dark nights at bay. And then it gets darker… A second body is discovered. And if Erica doesn’t act fast there’s going to be a third. And a fourth… Someone out there really doesn’t like Christmas.
