Love the concept. Harden man who has no one in his life. He has only loneliness and betrayal. He meets a Brit who is his opposite. They find love very quickly but there are problems. In the midst of all this there is a book. It is a book that could be worth a lot of money. James's and Sedgwick's relationship revolves around that book This was a good story. The characters were different and interesting. I wish I had had more of Sedgwick's personal story. I enjoyed this story except the absurdity

This book spins-off another Lanyon Christmas short (In From the Cold's I Spy Something Christmas), so I finally got around to reading it. Lovely little story, beautiful prose.

Sometimes it is a nice thing when a book is short, just a novella or a short story because only the most important parts of a character are depicted. James, in his solitude after being involved in a murder case, lost all his wealth but is about to receive a splendid gift. Yes, this is a Christmas story with a happy ending. Read it because it ought to touch you!
