Christmas Day, Kent, 1796: on the frozen fields of Romney Marsh stands New Hall; silent, lifeless, deserted.
In its grounds lies an unexpected Christmas offering: a corpse, frozen into the ice of a horse pond.
It falls to the Reverend Hardcastle, justice of the peace in St.
Mary in the Marsh, to investigate.
But with the victim's identity unknown, no murder weapon, and no known motive, it seems like an impossible task.
Working along with his trusted friend, Amelia Chaytor, and new arrival Cap.
