One dead Santa. A town full of suspects. Will you discover the truth?
Christmas in Lower Lockwood, and the Fairway Players are busy rehearsing their festive pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, to raise money for the church roof appeal. But despite the season, goodwill is distinctly lacking amongst the amateur dramatics enthusiasts. Sarah-Jane is fending off threats to her new position as Chair, the fibreglass beanstalk might be full of asbestos, and a someone is intent on ruining the panto even before the curtain goes up.
Of course there’s also the matter of the dead body. Who could possibly have had the victim on their naughty list? Join lawyers Femi and Charlotte as they read the round robins, examine the emails and pore over the police transcripts. Will the show go on?

*THE #3 IRISH BESTSELLER*
‘Momentous and epic’ BERNARD MACLAVERTY
‘Superb and moving’ JOHN BANVILLE
‘A lovely, piercing book’ SEBASTIAN BARRY
Three generations. More than a century of famine, war, violence and love.
At sixteen Nancy, the only member of her family to survive the Great Famine, leaves her small island for the mainland. Finding work in a grand house on the edge of Cork City, she feels irrepressibly drawn to the charismatic gardener Michael Egan, sparking a love affair that soon throws her into a fight for her life.
In 1920, Nancy’s son Jer has lived through battles of his own as a soldier in the Great War. Now drunk in a jail cell, he struggles to piece together where he has come from, and who he wants to be.
And in the early 1980s, Jer’s youngest child Nellie is nearing the end of her life in a council house, moments away from her childhood home; remembering the night when she and her family stole back something that was rightfully theirs, she imagines what lies in store for those who will survive her.

The sword has the power of Britain in its steel, men will follow and fight for whoever wields it…
Dark Age Britain. A legendary hero rises to unite a divided and threatened land…
A country left in ruins after the fall of the Roman Empire is plundered and broken. Saxon hordes have invaded and conquered the East coast of Britain in a blood-soaked Great War which tore the old kingdoms apart. From Bernicia to Kent, land and kingdoms are now under Saxon rule. But these new conquerors want more…
Britain’s remaining kingdoms are jaded by the constant threat of war, their Kings old, alliances fickle and frayed. It seems Britain must fall enslaved to the brutal and marauding conquerors from across the sea.
But no one counted on a new and fearsome warlord. A warrior granted power by the druid Merlin through the mighty sword Excalibur. A man with no Kingdom but a quest to unite the country and fight back against the baying Saxon warriors? He is known as the legendary Arthur.
The compelling, fast-paced start of a brand new series from bestselling writer Peter Gibbons. Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell.
Praise for the series:
‘Bristling with intense action, Excalibur is a grounded and brutal retelling of Arthurian myth set in the grim landscape of Dark Age Britain.’ – Richard Cullen
‘A power house of a novel told with the pace of a charging war horse. Well rounded characters brought to vivid life in Britain’s Dark Age. Not a book to be missed.’ – Adam Lofthouse
”The way the story of Arthur should be told! Real, gritty and packed with action!” – Donovan Cook
‘Riveting, page-turning action that shows Arthur growing from a frightened youngster into a confident warlord. Excalibur is a fresh new take on an old legend that readers will find hard to put down.’ – Steven A McKay
‘Epic, brutal action’ – Matthew Harffy
‘A gripping tale in which our distant British history is brought to life. A must-read for any Arthurian fan.’ – Reader Review
‘First class. I could not put this book down. Absolutely riveting. Action packed throughout. I eagerly await the next book in the series.’ – Reader Review
‘This was full of battles, violence, politics and is a fresh new take on Arthurian legend. It’s the first in a series that’s left me hungering for more’ – Reader Review
‘A superbly atmospheric tale of redemption that pitches the English against Viking raiders and resounds with the fierceness of battle-hardened warriors’ – MJ Porter
‘Thunderously atmospheric! Gibbons once again proves himself a master of Viking & Dark Age lore.’ – Gordon Doherty
