Steve isn't celebrating Christmas...he's trying to survive it.

Blind PI Steve Smiley loathes Christmas—too many memories. When his partner secures an invitation for them to teach at a mystery writers' conference in Miami, what promises to be a welcome early December escape turns into a tidal wave of mysteries to solve.

Steve and Heather walk into the midst of a raging civil war between two factions of the writers' group.

Before they can solve that mystery, another one lands at their feet, along with a dead body.

With more than a thousand mystery writers watching, Steve's reputation is on the line. He and Heather make a plan to unravel the mysteries and expose the murderer. But the killer has a plan too. Steve's no longer worried about enduring another lonely Christmas...this year he just wants to survive it.

Filled with twists, turns and a surprise ending, Pistols and Poinsettias is the perfect Christmas mystery—any time of year!
