Horrifying events in the village of Fendyke St Mary left lambs with their throats cut.
This was followed by the disappearance and murder of six young children - all with their throats cut.
Then the bodies of two men and two women were found in Witch's House, a derelict cottage - all poisoned. Yet strangely, the murder had occurred whilst the cottage was surrounded by snow; and after locking the door, the murderer had escaped leaving no tracks.
Detective Peter Chard is called in to help solve these gruesome, puzzling murders...
