The Midwinter Bride: A Gideon Prendergast Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798275680232)

Having now established himself as a private detective, Gideon Prendergast has but one problem: he has no cases to investigate. He chalks this up to the happy and festive time of midwinter when people put aside their petty vendettas and criminal impulses to make merry.

But just when Gideon least expects it, a liveried courier arrives with a summons from the wealthy Lord Aloysius Daubernon the 8th Marquis of Brunswick, with an intriguing request to look into the disappearance of his bride, Marah Maycott, who went missing thirty years ago on the very day of their wedding.

While the case drags Gideon back into the swirling mists of the past, he mustn't lose sight of the present as a mysterious ailment threatens his wife Tamsin's health and the long-buried secrets within the walls of the marquis' manor will bring unexpected twists of fate and fortune for everyone involved.
