From Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author behind HBO's hit series True Blood and NBC's Midnight, Texas, the third in a series that proves death never takes a holiday… For Lily Bard, the idea of "going home for Christmas" summons nothing but dread. She wants to stay in her real home in Shakespeare, Arkansas, where her friendships are blooming, nobody dares mess with her, and her new private-eye boyfriend could make it a very cozy holiday indeed. Back in Bartley, all people see when they look at Lily is a victim. But her sister is getting married, and Lily's determined to give her family what they want. She'll be present, be pleasant, and let her sister have the spotlight. Or so she thinks, until she discovers her boyfriend in town on a case, chasing a lead that could blow up the whole celebration. One of the little girls in Bartley isn't who she thinks she is. And one of the town's respectable parents is a cold-blooded kidnapper ready to kill to hide their secrets. For her sister—and her sister's eight-year-old stepdaughter-to-be—Lily will find the truth. Even if it means she'll never go home again…

But when Felicia is snatched outside the school, the facts of her heritage begin to surface. Felicia turns out to be far more than the Russian Mexican Lizbeth rescued. As Felicia's history unravels and her true abilities become known, she becomes under attack from all directions. Only her courage will keep her alive.

From Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author behind HBO's hit series True Blood and NBC's Midnight, Texas, the first in a series of mysteries that hits as hard as its heroine… Lily Bard has no illusions about her little town being safe, or peaceful, or full of goodness. Shakespeare, Arkansas, was nothing but a name on a map when she moved here. But Lily has kept her head down in Shakespeare for four years: cleaned houses, blocked unwelcome memories, and honed her body into a weapon with goju karate. It's as long as she's lasted anywhere since the nightmare that changed her life, and she's willing to dust around the skeletons in her neighbors' closets—provided they mind their business about her past, too. But when a dead body is dumped practically in her front yard, she can't look away and leave it to innocents to find. And as the investigation creeps closer to Lily, her clients, and the secrets they all keep, she knows her hard-fought peace is in danger. She's living in close quarters with a murderer. The police are sniffing around her history. And once again, all eyes are on Lily Bard. She could leave town, and give up on the home she's begun to make. Or she could stay, and root out the killer herself…
