Miss Sampford is a desperate woman.

Someone wants her dead, and she suspects it is someone in her family. Frightened and alone, Miss Sampford reaches out in the hope Clara Fitzgerald can keep her safe from her relatives as they descend for the festive season.

Before long she even begins to wonder just how sweet and innocent old Miss Sampford really is. Could the kind, elderly woman be hiding a terrible secret?
