This Christmas means a new home for Liz and her family. Portswell, New York. A small, sleepy town tucked into the deep woods of the Adirondack Mountains. Portswell is nothing compared to the big cities she grew up in, but she is determined that she will make this the place she is meant to be. For Detective Marc Stutton it's a new case taking an unexpected twist. A family with a file full of secrets moving not only into his jurisdiction but into a house with a dark history buried in files everyone would rather have forgotten. This Holiday Season, Liz and Detective Stutton find themselves brought together on a path where questions will be answered, lies will be laid bare, and where the night before Christmas is the darkest of them all. A twist on the Christmas Eve tale that will have readers hooked all the way until the bloody end.
