In Crimes Upon a Midnight Clear, award-winning author Joslyn Chase delivers a pulse-pounding collection of holiday-themed suspense stories, where danger and deception lurk beneath twinkling lights and falling snow. From a pickpocket's final job gone horribly wrong to a Homeland Security agent racing to stop a Christmas town from being blown off the map, each story packs a thrilling punch.

Whether it's a suspicious department store Santa or a deadly showdown in the Alaskan wilds, these tales combine high-stakes tension with a dash of holiday spirit. Every story captures the deep longing to be home for Christmas--even if the road there is lined with secrets, shadows, and unexpected turns.

Tightly written, emotionally rich, and laced with clever twists, this collection showcases Joslyn Chase's signature style: gripping mysteries with heart. Set in vivid locales from Leavenworth's Bavarian charm to snowbound forests, the atmosphere adds to the chill--and the cheer.
