A dark Christmas thriller from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger. Instead of presents this Christmas, one true crime podcaster is opening up a cold case When true crime podcaster Harley Granger drifts into Madeline Martin's bookshop days before Christmas, he seems intent on digging up a past that Madeline would much rather forget. Granger's work has earned him fame and wealth and some serious criticism for his various unethical practices. Granger also has a lot of questions about the night Madeline was left for dead, the only surviving victim of killer Evan Handy. Handy, who also murdered Madeline's best friend and is suspected in the disappearance of two local sisters, has been in jail for a decade. Since then, though, three other young women have gone missing in similar circumstances. Is the true predator still out there somewhere As Christmas approaches and a blizzard bears down, Madeline must confront the past to answer questions that have haunted her since that day. Is the truth more terrible than she ever imagined Coupling a picturesque, cosy setting with a deeply unsettling and suspenseful plot, Christmas Presents is a chilling seasonal tale that can be enjoyed all year long. 'A cold-blooded nasty thriller. I loved it!' R.L. Stine 'The perfect mix of thrills and chills to delight any suspense reader.' Lisa Gardner
