Sinopsis

The search for a Christmastime serial killer leads Det. Supt. Henry Christie into the crossfire of warring Lancashire crime families.   Lancashire’s Chief Constable lures Det. Superintendent Henry Christie away from his much-needed Christmas vacation with the possibility of catching a serial killer. Though he has a new fiancée to celebrate with and an ailing mother to care for, Henry can’t refuse the chance to bring a murderer to book.   In his thirty years with the Lancashire constabulary, Henry’s never dealt with a case like this. Multiple victims disappeared on Christmas Eve, only to turn up gruesomely murdered on New Year’s Day. But as he follows the leads to the likely next target—who happens to be the mentally deranged son of a Lancashire crime family—Henry finds himself stepping into a blood-soaked turf war.   “Oldham shows just how exciting a proper police investigation can be in this top-notch procedural.” —Publishers Weekly

"His Last Bow: The War Service of Sherlock Holmes", later titled "His Last Bow: An Epilogue of Sherlock Holmes", is one of 56 short stories about Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It was first published in September 1917 in Strand Magazine, and, amongst six other stories, was collected in an anthology titled His Last Bow: Some Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes. The narration is in the third person, instead of the first person narration usually provided by the character of Dr. Watson, and it is a spy story, rather than a detective mystery. Due to its portrayal of British and German spies, its publication during the First World War and its patriotic themes, the story has been interpreted as a propaganda tool intended to boost morale for British readers.
On the eve of the First World War, the German agent Von Bork is getting ready to leave England with his vast collection of intelligence, gathered over a four-year period. His wife and household have already left Harwich for Flushing in the Netherlands, leaving only him and his elderly housekeeper. Von Bork's associate, Baron von Herling, is impressed by his acquisition of vital British military secrets, and tells Von Bork that he will be received in Berlin as a hero. Von Bork says that he is waiting for one last transaction with his Irish-American informant, Altamont, who will arrive shortly with a rich treasure: naval signals.
