Oh What Fun
Not all is Merry and Bright.
While it may be a festive season for most, for Special Agent Emily Slate, Christmas is nothing more than a nuisance—a time when crowds and traffic get worse, and tempers run hotter.
As if Emily didn’t have enough trouble surviving the season unscathed, a recent string of robberies has just turned deadly. A trio of robbers, each dressed as Santa Claus, have been looting local jewelry stores and their most recent attack has claimed the life of a young woman.
Determined to stop the thieves before they escalate further, Emily and Zara take the case, using their wits and skills to track down the robbers before they can strike again.
But this is no average holiday heist. Dark and twisted motives have put this plan into motion and Emily will find herself feeling the whiplash as she attempts to navigate the twists and turns of this unique case.
If these criminals aren’t caught before holiday is over, there’s no telling how much carnage they may leave in their wake.
