Tinsel, Trees And Treachery: A Clean Holiday Whodunit
A blind detective. A masked killer. One deadly Christmas.

Blind private investigator Steve Smiley expects a quiet Christmas—until Branson entertainer Candy Caine arrives with an unusual problem. Someone claiming to be Krampus, the demonic folklore figure who punishes the wicked, is demanding money.


What started as threatening letters dismissed as a sick joke has escalated to a deadly promise: pay up for her sin of greed, or face the consequences. When Candy is locked in her dressing room as smoke pours under the door, the message becomes horrifyingly clear—this is no idle threat.


With his loyal guide dog at his side and his sharp-witted team backing him up, Smiley navigates a treacherous maze of suspects to expose the killer. With Christmas drawing closer and the killer growing bolder, Smiley races to unmask the monster—before Candy's next performance becomes her last.


Grab your copy of Tinsel, Trees And Treachery today—the latest private detective mystery in Bruce Hammack's beloved Smiley and McBlythe series! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie-style whodunits who love clever plots without the gore, violence, or explicit scenes.
