"Morgan Brooks is a fine man," Alan said, "a great psychologist and my mentor. He's invited us to spend Christmas with him and his family. Should we accept?" Of course, I said, "Yes."And so, I met Morgan Brooks in snowy Boston, on my first trip to America. I also met Amelia, his celebrity chef wife and Madison, his somewhat reticent daughter. Furthermore, I encountered Dexter Trask, a businessman, a megalomaniac, the self-styled 'King of Boston'.The holiday started well. Then the first body appeared, a young man murdered in the woods. That murder led to a kidnapping and further murders. The clues pointed in one direction. However, did the truth lie in that direction? With the aid of Gabe, Morgan's friend and neighbour, and a fellow private detective, I wandered through the snow-kissed maze.And the solution? That surprised everyone.Boston, ten days in a winter wonderland, ten days that confirmed that people are multi-faceted, multi-layered, and that everyone has at least one skeleton ready to fall out of their closet.
