“Mummy – Daddy – there’s Santa! He’s hurt!”
A young girl travelling home with her family, witnesses a man dressed as Santa Claus lying in an alleyway, his throat slashed.
Noel Winters had been doing the rounds, playing Santa. His final engagement was at a private party hours before his murder. Winters had a reputation for heavy drinking and female company, and it had recently cost him his marriage. Local gossip suggests he had plans to be up and down a few chimneys over the festive period.
DCI Tyler and DS Mills struggle to narrow down the suspects, including a bitter Santa Claus rivalry. But Chief Superintendent Berkins wants the case wrapped up for Christmas. With the clock ticking, and the season of goodwill fast approaching, Tyler goes out on a limb, focusing his investigation on the new Chief Constable’s golfing buddy.
Mills and Berkins sense Tyler’s instincts are misfiring, and neither are prepared to support an improbable theory. Worse still, they fear a personal agenda is clouding his judgement. And when the Chief Constable gets wind of what the maverick detective is suggesting, Mills is convinced Tyler’s day of reckoning has finally arrived.

'Another cracking read in this series. I love the two Detectives and their relationship just gets richer with each book. The humour in the book is great and a welcome relief from the grisly crime. The Christmas theme is just the cherry on the mince pie!' Helen.

'I love this series, and the very different characters of Tyler and Mills, who nevertheless make a great team. Serious crime with humour. I can take any amount of this.' Ignite.
'This may well be my favourite entry in the series so far, with all the elements we've come to enjoy at their best - a well-crafted murder mystery, great interplay and often humorous banter between the two leads, some memorable secondary characters, convincing and often gritty locations, all driving towards a very satisfying denouement. The Christmas setting creates an enjoyable background and nicely offsets the essentially gruesome storyline. A great read.' Julian Middleton.
'What a great book.Once I started reading I had a real job to put the book down.I highly recommend this book and am really looking forward to reading the next book in the series.' Colin Blackman.
'Wow, Marks books get better and better with each one he writes. White Christmas was so thrilling with each twisting character having their own agendas and taking you on a different journey. Once I started it I couldn’t put it down. I hope there’s another book coming soon as u really get to like Tyler and Mills.' Lisa Trussler.
'This is another great read in a very popular series featuring Tyler and Mills. I really loved the characters, especially Tyler, and the touches of banter and humour throughout which made me laugh out loud on a long haul flight! This is the best yet in the series, in my opinion with an intriguing and unique bit of plotting which I am sure readers will enjoy.' MarthaB.
'This is another superb addition, brimming with vivid characters and great suspects, in a smashing series which I love to bits!' Alyson R
