The Christmas Egg

In a gloomy flat off Islington High Street; Chief Inspector Brett Nightingale and Sergeant Beddoes find an old woman dead. The Princess Olga Karukhin; who fled from Russia at the time of the Revolution; has lived in terror of being discovered ever since. Olga's grandson; Ivan; appears to have run from the scene; but is later seen returning to the flat as though oblivious to the terrible crime. Taking place between 22nd and 24th December; Nightingale's enquiry takes him across London; culminating in the wrapping of the mystery on Christmas Eve.
