P.I. Patrick Kincaid takes a detour through San Francisco to check on attorney Elle Santana, who has gone silent. He gets shot at before learning why Elle refuses police help to find a missing girl. Patrick and Elle run from both law enforcement and criminals as they hunt for the witness and target a violent businessman operating sweatshops. Meanwhile, newly sworn FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid wants to spend Christmas with her entire family for the first time in years. A blizzard grounds flights and traps Lucy and boyfriend Sean Rogan in a Denver hotel with a corpse. Back in San Diego, Colonel Kincaid lands in the hospital where a vengeful man waits to kill anyone blocking his path. The seventh Lucy Kincaid novel weaves together two dangerous cases threatening the family reunion. The Kincaids need a miracle to survive this Christmas as time runs short and violence closes in from multiple directions.
