The bitter chill of December in Hampstead, Kansas, is joined by a flu epidemic that's taken out half of police chief Susan Wren's force. Her hopes for a crime freeze are dashed when the body of a repairman is found stuffed in the basement furnace in the home of a single mom. His identification leads to a few dark surprises and Susan must harness all of her street smarts to pull off her own Christmas miracle. Martin's Press.
