Years ago Malcolm Kershaw wrote a list of his 'Eight Favourite Murders' for his Old Devils mystery bookshop blog. Among others, it included those from Agatha Christie's _The ABC Murders_, Patricia Highsmith's _Strangers on a Train_ and Donna Tartt's _The Secret History._  
  
Now, just before Christmas, Malcolm finds himself at the heart of an investigation - as an FBI agent believes someone may be re-enacting each of the murders on his list.  
  
Can the killer be stopped before they get away with eight perfect murders?
