Official synopsis Publisher
Thirtysomething lawyer Megan McGee is facing a quiet Christmas with her bulldog when Bonnie Cantrell comes looking for legal protection from her violent ex-cop husband, Carl. In a recent bout of rage, Carl vowed to kill their seven-year-old son, Tommy, rather than be separated from the boy. It’s no idle threat, either – as Bonnie assures Megan: “He’s tried before.” And when Tommy’s school unwittingly allows him to leave with his father, Carl gets his chance to try again. Now, with the town all but shut down for the holiday, Megan races against time – and terror – to keep Carl’s Christmas Eve jaunt from turning into a slay ride.
