A gamekeeper has been murdered in rural Wales, and it falls to Wicky to clean up the mess. He knows that whatever happens on the job, it's important not to lose your head.
Wicky is called to a quiet town where a row has broken out over a new statue and someone has chucked a bucket of blood over it in protest. Tempers in the town are running high, and it looks like things might turn nasty.
On Christmas day wicky is looking forward to win Weasel's Christmas raffle, An horse. A blood soaked crime in an icecream parlour stands in his way and a customer isn't going to let thing like murder stop him from getting a melba icecream.
There has been a tragic death at a stately home and Wicky is called in to clean up. But he's not the only person there with a job to do. There is a shaman with his own agenda, an owl and possibly a ghost. With Shakin' Stevens.
Extremely pompous author Terence Redford is trying to write his latest masterpiece but is finding it difficult to concentrate: partly because of writer's block, and partly because his grandmother has recently burnt to death in his living room.
