A Murder for Christmas

In December 1907, a killing on the northern prairie set a small community on edge. Suspicion moved fast. Certainty moved faster.

But in a world of winter wind and ice, pioneer farm families, newspaper accusations, and courtroom pressure, the truth was harder to see - and easier to bury.

A Murder for Christmas follows the investigation, suspicion, and trial surrounding the death of Arthur LeClair, bringing to life the people caught in the machinery of justice: grieving families, meticulous lawyers, frightened witnesses, and the unlikely investigator whose work would change the case.

Set against the stark beauty and hardship of early twentieth-century North Dakota, the novel explores guilt, memory, prejudice, faith, and the dangerous comfort of believing the first story that seems to fit.
