As the seasons turn, the city's celebrations are repurposed into altars: Easter lilies branded into lashes, Fourth-of-July bones raised like flags, and-worst of all-Thanksgiving \"Grace\" kits appearing on doorsteps with candles, place cards, and instructions for a blessing that is really a blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith partner \u003cb\u003eMia Rourke\u003c\/b\u003e and reporter \u003cb\u003eLena\u003c\/b\u003e drawn into the crosshairs, Voss has to tear the cadence out of the killer's hands.

When a killer weaponizes holidays, Voss answers with the only counter-ritual that can break a chorus: a human voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFans of atmospheric police procedurals and elegant horror will find a case file of beeswax, ribbons, sugar-glass-and a finale that closes every thread. In this city, a table becomes an altar; an altar becomes a stage; and a single word decides who gets to go home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sky Bushey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798262878062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Sky Bushey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440671666431,"sku":"9798262878062","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c498e180-77cb-480a-b562-33bb01fafdee.jpg?v=1777184028","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-holiday-slasher-sky-bushey-9798262878062","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
