Hacking the Holidays

By Rich Amooi

Detective Zara Mazini is a brilliant FBI cybersecurity specialist, more comfortable deciphering code than interacting with humans-which makes going undercover as an elf particularly mortifying.

The case? A mysterious hacker who is stealing from corrupt scumbags and secretly funding Christmas miracles for struggling families.

Her prime suspect? Sam Monroe, a mild-mannered library archivist by day and the city's beloved volunteer Santa by night.

Unfortunately, infiltrating "Good Sam's" world means talking to actual people, wrangling sugar-high toddlers, and-worst of all-wearing a green tunic, yellow tights, and a jingling hat that haunts her nightmares. But as Zara stumbles through fake holiday cheer and very real feelings, she discovers Sam is ridiculously kind and as genuine as his terrible Santa jokes.

With Christmas approaching and evidence mounting, the lines between right and wrong blur. Because arresting someone who's exhibiting the true spirit of Christmas might just be the real crime here.
