A gritty-but-heart-warming Christmas tale! ---------- Santa’s helpers don’t always dispose of bodies, but that’s what Tucker Smith is doing right now. He just found his boss, Nick—the AKA Santa—murdered in an apparent random act of violence. But Tucker has a hard time letting it go. He needs answers, now. The Organization, a philanthropic group with branches all over the world, quickly sent a replacement Santa, but he requires training, and guess who has to do that? Tucker. It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but right now, things are less than merry and not so bright for Tucker at work and at home. Somehow, he has to deliver Christmas to his assigned region, train the new Santa, and uncover the mystery of who killed Nick, all while his he struggles to patch things up with his crumbling family. …and there are only five days left until Christmas. Known for his post-apocalyptic military thrillers, D.J. Molles has crossed genres with this modern day Santa story that's a healthy dose of holiday murder mystery with a sprinkle of Christmas magic. -------- "A Christmas story that, if/when made into a film, will supplant James Stewart's It's a Wonderful Life AND Bruce Willis' Die Hard ." -Amazon Reviewer - "This book came into my life at a time when darkness was snuffing out the light. It ignited a new hope. A story of loss and hardship but...of magic as well." - Amazon Reviewer - "I am not one to have much Christmas spirit. I bah humbug like the Grinch and don't really enjoy the holidays. Mr. Molles wrote an exciting Christmas story that really speaks to me." -Amazon Reviewer
