Bah, Humbug!

By John Tunstall

Rex Hammer doesn't believe in monsters. He's seen enough real ones.
Three years in Counterintelligence taught him that most impossible things have mundane explanations. Black markets. Smuggling rings. Human evil dressed up as something supernatural.
But Frost Brook, New York, isn't most places.
It's October 1946, and the town is drowning in snow that shouldn't exist yet. Christmas music plays through broken speakers. And three bodies have turned up frozen solid...
The local sheriff thinks Rex can help. Rex thinks the sheriff is desperate.
But the cold in Frost Brook isn't normal. The townspeople won't talk. And something or someone is killing in the dark between the Christmas lights.
Rex came to deliver his dead friend's medals and catch the next train out. Now he's got twelve hours to find a killer, uncover what's really happening in Christmas Town USA, and decide if some secrets are worth protecting.
Because in Frost Brook, winter has reasons. And monsters might not be what he thought.
Hard-boiled detective meets supernatural noir. The first Rex Hammer Mystery.
