My name is Ernest Cunningham. I’m not a detective, but I have a knack for what makes mysteries – and murderers – tick. Here I am, backstage at the Christmas show of world-famous magician Rylan Blaze, and there’s just been a murder.

From the magician’s assistant to the hypnotist, my suspects are all masters of misdirection and hiding secrets in plain sight.

My clues are even more of a mystery:

• A person who woke up covered in blood.
• A murder committed inside a room from the outside.
• And an advent calendar with 23 clues and one killer.

The perfect gift this year will be surviving Christmas. But for that to happen, I’ve a murder to solve – and a killer to catch . . .
