About the book
Pagan revelry and morris dancing in the middle of a very cold winter set the scene for one of Ngaio Marshs most fascinating murder mysteries.
When the pesky Anna Bnz arrives at Mardian to investigate the rare survival of folk-dancing still practised there, she quickly antagonizes the villagers. But Mrs Bnz is not the only source of friction two of the other enthusiasts are also spoiling for a fight.
When the sword dancers traditional mock beheading of the Winter Solstice becomes horribly real, Superintendent Roderick Alleyn finds himself faced with a case of great complexity and of gruesome proportions
