Summary

Euphemia has recently returned from Edinburgh to her home in the Fens when spymaster Fitzroy announces his plan to host an extravagant Christmas party at White Orchards. As the guests start to arrive and the snow settles, Euphemia hopes that the hand-picked gathering of spies will find a resolution to shorten the war. But that is before the interruption of an uninvited guest - quickly followed by another - and the discovery of a dead body. Tension mounts when Rory McLeod, a policeman from Special Branch (not to mention from Euphemia's past), arrives with his wife to interrogate the household. And to make matters worse, Fitzroy seems to have disappeared into the frozen marshes, leaving Euphemia to avert disaster before they can expose a killer in their midst.
