As Christmas draws nearer, Simmy Henderson is invited to a party in Glenridding at the heart of the Lake District. However, the festivities are overshadowed by two alarming discoveries: a man's body in the beck above the village and a vulnerable newborn baby, apparently abandoned by its mother.
Caught in the crosscurrents and tensions of the inhabitants of Glenridding, Simmy is drawn into the investigation. The season of goodwill has been eclipsed by far darker emotions and a murderer must be found.

    The Inescapable Prison has long stood as a symbol of absolute confinement, a fortress so impenetrable that even the thought of escape seemed futile. Perched on an isolated island, surrounded by treacherous waters and patrolled by an elite cadre of guards, this prison was designed to crush not just the body but also the spirit. Its towering walls, crafted from stone rumored to be unbreakable, and its maze-like interiors presented an overwhelming challenge for anyone bold—or desperate—enough to dream of freedom. Over decades, countless prisoners tried to outwit the prison’s relentless grip, and every attempt ended the same way: failure. 
      
    Yet, one astonishing escape shattered this narrative. It was not achieved by a team of trained spies or hardened criminals with an arsenal of resources. Instead, it was the work of ordinary men driven by extraordinary resolve. They weren’t just fighting for freedom; they were fighting against the very idea of impossibility. What makes their story so remarkable is not just the outcome, but the sheer ingenuity, determination, and courage that brought them to the brink of what seemed unattainable. 
      
    This book tells the true tale of how these men, trapped in the most secure prison of their time, defied insurmountable odds. With nothing more than their wits and an unyielding desire to reclaim their lives, they devised a plan so daring, so intricate, that it remains one of the most celebrated escapes in history. Each step of their journey—from the formation of their plan to the harrowing final moments of their flight—is a testament to human resilience and resourcefulness.

    Feisty enchanted hedgehogs with eye-watering gas, a half-dragon with an attitude, and a headless corpse aren't the best things to start the day with! 
     
     
     
    But that's what we encounter in our first week working for animal control in Crimson Cove. We'd only come here to find a missing person but got more than we bargained for. As an enchanted cat, few things phase me, but even I wince when my wonderful witch, Zandra Crypt, finds a body missing its head. 
     
     
     
    When the angels are stumped over who killed Osorin Greenbow, we poke around. It doesn't take long before we find a worrying connection to the body, a dangerous gang of magical criminals, and what happened to Zandra's mother (she's the missing person.) 
     
     
     
    How will a plucky witch and a strikingly beautiful white cat (that's me) beat the gang, find the killer, and locate Zandra's mother? 
     
     
     
    Care to find out and help me solve a murder, while I share a secret or two with you?
