With High Lord Beaufort Scales facing political turmoil at home, elderly sleuths Alice and Miriam must step up to rescue hostages, clear a dragon's reputation, and solve the case of stolen Christmas turkeys. Armed with the formidable resources of the Toot Hansell Women's Institute, they navigate explosive holiday decorations and suspicious circumstances while keeping the existence of dragons hidden from local authorities.
