Leavenworth, Washington, is the picture-perfect Christmas town—snow-dusted rooftops, twinkling lights, and festive markets—but beneath its cheerful facade, something sinister is running through the streets. Santa himself—or someone in a very convincing disguise—dashes from alley to alley carrying a mysterious briefcase, moving like a smuggler rather than a symbol of joy.
Avery Ravenscroft, rugged, intelligent, and fearless, arrives in town on her cross-country journey with a keen eye for danger. She’s joined by her new partner, Cess Oñativia, a sharp, stylish, and cautious observer from a humble background who knows how to blend in while noticing the smallest details. Together, they navigate snow-covered streets, hidden messages, and human behavior that’s far from ordinary.
As the two women follow the trail of footprints, shadowed glances, and cryptic clues, they uncover a complex web of secrets lurking beneath Leavenworth’s holiday cheer. From abandoned alleys to the bustling Christmas market, nothing—and no one—is exactly as it seems.
With a mix of cozy charm and dark suspense, Santa in Leavenworth, Washington is a thrilling mystery where intelligence, intuition, and courage must unravel the truth before the town’s traditions are shattered forever. And for Avery and Cess, this is just the beginning—Cannon Beach, Oregon, already waits for their next adventure.
