Book description
Tommy Carr was a kind man; Eve had been able to tell that after half
an hour of knowing him. There had never been a day when he had not
shown her some small kindness and even after the tragic death of their
young daughter, their relationship remained as strong as before. Grief
takes its toll however, and it's not surprising that by the following
Christmas, Tommy is a shadow of his former self, with the look of
death upon him.
But what happens next is entirely unexpected, not least for the kind man...
