Silver – And The Christmas Caper by Jack Gatland
English | 2025 | Mystery & Thriller
A dead priest. A stolen treasure. And a detective duo with three days to save Christmas.
When Laura Carlyle and Sebastian Silver receive an urgent Christmas summons to the Cotswolds, they expect quaint village charm and mulled wine. What they find is the village priest dead in the church crypt and the most sacred treasure missing from St. Botolph’s altar.
Lady Margaret Sinclair insists the theft and murder are connected – Her family has loaned priceless religious artifacts to the village church every Christmas for generations. Now, with Midnight Mass just three days away, both the consecrated pyx and the priest who guarded it are gone.
But Sebastian knows something about aristocratic families and their carefully buried secrets. And Laura knows that when people kill to protect the past, they’re usually hiding something worth more than money.
From ancient church crypts to crumbling family estates, the Christmas lights of Ashwood St Boltoph hide centuries of lies. And if Laura and Sebastian can’t decode the truth before Christmas Eve, the entire village will lose more than their most treasured celebration…
