Christmas Burns — Cynthia Hickey

When Christmas trees ignite across Misty Hollow, Sheriff Shea Callahan must stop an arsonist determined to turn joy into ashes.The holidays in Misty Hollow are supposed to shine with joy-until Christmas trees start going up in flames.Sheriff Shea Callahan and Deputy Trevor Bolton are thrust into chaos when an arsonist begins terrorizing their small town, torching homes, stealing presents, and leaving the community drowning in fear instead of holiday cheer. What begins as scattered vandalism quickly escalates into a series of dangerous, calculated fires that feel less like random destruction-and more like a vendetta written in smoke.As whispers spread and suspects pile up, Shea investigates a reckless teen caught with lighter fluid, a bitter shopkeeper desperate to save his failing business, and a struggling father hiding stolen toys. But none of the pieces fit. Then the trail leads to a man consumed by grief, haunted by a tragedy the town tried to bury-and bound by a vow to ruin every Christmas that followed.
