The Twelve Deaths of Christmas
(2024)(Book 20 in the West Yorkshire Crime Thriller series)
A novel by Lee Brook
When a 150-year-old time capsule is unveiled at Leeds City Museum, no one takes the Victorian detective's prophecies seriously. But DCI George Beaumont can't ignore the chilling predictions when they start coming true with devastating accuracy.
Twelve murders. Twenty-five days. Each death meticulously staged. And at the heart of it all, a final prophecy: a blond detective's death on Christmas Day.
As bodies begin to fall exactly as foretold, George turns to museum curator Dr Kit Ainsworth, whose knowledge might be the key to preventing the next death. Together, they race to decipher cryptic warnings written 150 years ago.
But as Christmas approaches and the body count rises, George faces a terrifying possibility: Are they dealing with a copycat killer using a Victorian detective's journal as inspiration, or did Detective Edmund Blackwood truly see these murders across time - including George's own death?
25 days, 25 chapters. One chapter per day until Christmas. Do you dare to keep pace with a killer?
The Twelve Deaths of Christmas is the twentieth book in the Detective George Beaumont thriller series.
