The next thrilling instalment in the DCI Harry Grimm crime thrillers series.

DCI Harry Grimm is settling into the rhythms of Yorkshire. It’s easy to keep dodging discussions about the future when he’s called to a crime scene with a body that’s missing both hands. Identifying the victim as a city property developer who moved to the countryside, Grimm links him to a recent meeting about the affordable housing crisis. And learning the deceased man had angered too many locals to count, the determined detective and his team labor to eliminate an endless list of suspects.

After being repeatedly beaten, shot at, blown-up, and tortured, Hoon is looking forward to spending a quiet Christmas drinking heavily in front of the TV, while pointedly ignoring the older sister who has invaded his home. The world, however, has other plans. When a routine trip to an Inverness shopping center is interrupted by a squad of heavily armed Santas, Hoon, his sister, and an old army colleague find themselves trapped alongside several hundred terrified hostages.
