Description
Christmas 1979. With the Yorkshire Ripper still at large, fear grips the north of England.
At York District Hospital, porter Johnny Jewell's quiet night shift is shattered when he discovers the body of a senior consultant hidden in the mortuary fridge. Suspicion falls uncomfortably close to home when Johnny realises his colleague has lied about his movements - and that he has unwittingly backed up the lie.
As the police close in and dark secrets begin to surface, Johnny finds himself caught up in corruption and a dangerous attraction to the enigmatic new doctor, Juliet Fulton. But not everyone is convinced she is who she claims to be.
By the early hours of Christmas morning, the body count is rising. As Johnny is hunted through the shadowy corridors of the hospital, one question remains: is he being lined up as the next victim?
