Fourth story in a collection of interlinked tales of crime and retribution laced with dark humour, set around the festive season

Working in a call centre normally offers few career opportunities. But it looks as if Tracyโ€™s about to get her big break.

Stuart MacBride is the Sunday Times No. 1 bestselling author of the Logan McRae and Ash Henderson novels. His work has won several prizes and in 2015 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Dundee University. Stuart lives in the north-east of Scotland with his wife Fiona, cats Grendel, Onion and Beetroot, and other assorted animals.
