Publisher's Synopsis
Winter, 1936. Kitty receives an unexpected telegram just before Christmas saying that her father is seriously ill. She and her husband Matt swiftly set out for America and, after a fraught ocean crossing, they arrive to discover he is much improved. Kitty decides to make the most of her visit to New York by taking in the sights and attending a costume party thrown by her father's friend, Mrs Dangerfield. After a fabulous night, Kitty and Matt blow away the cobwebs with a walk in Central Park. They enjoy watching ice skaters glide across one of the frozen lakes but then they discover their hostess murdered, her body partly hidden in some bushes. The finger of suspicion seems to be pointing towards Mrs Dangerfield's secretary, but then she turns up dead too. With a mystery killer spoiling their trip, will the amateur sleuths save the day, or will they breathe their last in the city that never sleeps?
