The dead body is their first clue - and the answer is murder...but can they solve the crossword, and find a killer too?

Nina is a young journalist. She's also an alcoholic.

Once a week, she attends a recovery group in the local church hall. When a stranger walks in one night, the group think they might have a new member. Until he promptly drops dead.

The police believe it's nothing more than an accident. But the group soon realise there's more to this mystery than meets the eye, when they discover a cryptic crossword clue hidden in the dead man's pocket - the answer to which is Murder.

As more mysterious and threatening clues start appearing in the local paper's crossword, Nina and team must work to crack this cryptic case. Can they solve the clues, and catch a killer?

Or will the next crosssword spell death for one of them...
