No one thinks of murder on Christmas Eve.
Last December 24, Everleigh Greene witnessed a man climbing out of a window in the unoccupied house next door. Turns out the man—whom she recognized as the son of a prominent and influential local family—had something other than burglary on his mind that night. Thanks to Everleigh, he’s now on trial for the attempted murder of her twenty-year old neighbor.
This Christmas, Everleigh wants to forget about the holiday almost as much as she wants to forget about the upcoming trial. She’s ready to put both the holiday she used to love and the trial behind her—if someone doesn’t silence her first.
