Jingle Bells, Rifle Shells

By Bruce Hammack

'Tis the season for miracles... and murder.

A rifle crack shatters the holiday bustle. Christmas shoppers scatter as a renowned big-game hunter drops to the sidewalk. Blind detective Steve Smiley and his partner rush to rescue the teen-the man's adopted daughter-who had been locked in a heated argument with him moments before.

The teen's first plea is not to find the killer, but to find her birth parents. What begins as a straightforward adoption search spirals into something far deadlier when Smiley discovers the hunter's murder is inexorably linked to the teen's mysterious past.

With suspects multiplying faster than mall Santas-from bitter ex-wives to vengeful conservationists-Smiley must navigate a labyrinth of family secrets and old betrayals. As the twelve days tick down to Christmas, he races to find a killer, unwrap the truth and give a teenage girl her Christmas miracle.

Join blind detective Steve Smiley as he races against the twelve days of Christmas to solve a murder that's anything but festive in Jingle Bells, Rifle Shells by Bruce Hammack. With multiple suspects, hidden motives, and a teenage girl's future hanging in the balance, this clean mystery delivers all the suspense without the graphic content. Perfect for Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot fans.
