Deck the halls with boughs of . . . danger.


Joey Darling and her friend, Starla McKnight, are all set to host a new TV Christmas light special. But, before filming even begins, things go awry. Legs-with a human body attached-are sticking out of the family's chimney, wrecking the feel-good holiday show.


Things turn even more perilous when they discover their victim is a felon recently released from prison. Joey tries to stay out of the investigation, but she's as curious as a kid on Christmas morning. As more facts emerge, the mystery of what happened up on the housetop continues to grow.


Joey's fiancé, Detective Jackson Sullivan, is on the case. But someone else is determined to wreck Joey's Christmas special . . . and they just might succeed.
