On New Year's Eve in 1962, as a snowstorm blankets Oxford, the city's elite gather for a lavish celebration. The festivities take a dark turn when a guest is discovered dead in his car the following morning. Initially believed to be a tragic accident, WPC Trudy Loveday and coroner Clement Ryder are called to the scene, only to uncover a sinister reality that suggests foul play. The victim's death unravels a tangled web of secrets, lies, and motives among the partygoers.
As Trudy and Clement delve deeper into the investigation, they are met with conflicting accounts from various guests, each with their own reasons for wanting the young man dead. The pressure mounts as the duo races against time to piece together the truth before the killer slips away unnoticed. With each twist and turn, A Fatal Night keeps readers engaged, as they try to untangle the mystery alongside the protagonists.
