In the idyllic yet enigmatic village of Upper Fenton, where pastel cottages hide dark secrets, former MI5 officer Max Tudor trades his life of espionage for the charming pursuits of rural existence. But tranquility is short-lived; beneath the quaint façade lies a labyrinth of intrigue that draws him back into a world of deception and danger. In "A Fatal Winter," Max faces a chilling double homicide at the historic Chedrow Castle, where a tempestuous storm isolates the suspects—a cast of greedy, scheming relatives who converge for a fateful inheritance but conceal motives darker than the winter nights. As Max grapples with his growing attraction to the enigmatic Awena Owen, a local artist with her own tangled past, he must navigate a treacherous game of loyalty and betrayal.
