On 19th of December, renowned puzzle setter, loner and Christmas sceptic Edie O'Sullivan finds a hand-delivered present on her doorstep. Unwrapping it, she finds a jigsaw box with a question mark on the lid, and, inside, six jigsaw pieces. When fitted together, the pieces show part of a crime scene - blood-spattered black and white tiles and part of an outlined body. On the back of the pieces is a message: 'Four, maybe more, people will be dead by midnight on Christmas Eve, unless you can put all the pieces together and stop me,' along with a clue to the location of more pieces. When the police say there isn't anything to investigate, Edie teams up with her Christmas-loving nephew, DI Sean Brand-O'Sullivan, to solve the clues, find the jigsaw pieces and prevent the murder.
