Winter is about to take a chilling twist...

Thief-taker Simon Westow is drawn into a deadly puzzle when the melting snow reveals a dark secret in this gripping historical mystery, perfect for fans of Anne Perry and Charles Finch.

Leeds, 1822. The city is in the grip of winter, but the chill deepens for thief-taker Simon Westow and his young assistant, Jane, when the body of Laurence Poole, a petty local thief, emerges from the melting snow by the river at Flay Crow Mill.

A coded notebook found in Laurence''s room mentions Charlie Harker, the most notorious fence in Leeds who''s now running for his life, and the mysterious words: To the dark. What was Laurence hiding that caused his death? Simon''s hunt for the truth pits him against some dangerous, powerful enemies who''ll happily kill him in a heartbeat - if they can.
