"Madison is a kick-ass detective who was fearless, strong-willed, and tenacious." -Totally Addicted to Reading This Christmas, murder doesn't take a holiday… Detective Madison Knight should have ignored her phone when it rang on Christmas Eve. Now she is spending her holiday dealing with her least favorite thing: a bloody murder scene. Claire Reeves had it all-looks, sex appeal, and business savvy. But it seems that one of those things has caught up with her. Now, Madison and her partner are digging through the victim's personal life, but the more they dig, the more people they find who had motive to kill her. All the while, Madison is battling with a touch of the holiday blues, and the man she's dating isn't making things any easier. With the status of their relationship up in the air, it's affecting her focus on the investigation. And if that wasn't enough, tack on being the only female detective in the Major Crimes division and reporting to a sergeant who thinks less of her because she is a woman. Not that he'd say so in as many words. But despite the odds, Madison is determined to prove herself by finding Claire's killer and, more importantly, making sure justice is served.
