It's the holiday season, and Cecily Sinclair Baxter is decorating the Pennyfoot's ballroom for a Christmas reception.

An hour later their one-horse open carriage returns with the horse, the holly ... and the unwelcome gift of a dead body. Baxter and Samuel are nowhere to be found.The dead man is Gavin Hargrove, the recent heir to a wealthy estate. The police pin the blame on a shadowy London syndicate, but Cecily fears the trouble may be closer to home. Meanwhile, Samuel has returned, with no memory of the events in the woods beyond a fleeting image of bending over a fallen Baxter.Cecily is determined to find her husband and solve the mystery of Gavin Hargrove's death. After all, it's a season of celebrating with friends and family, and Cecily means to reunite hers - even if a killer leads her in a merry measure.
