He sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re afraid. And this year… Santa’s making a kill list.

When a body turns up in a mall Santa chair—eyes missing, mouth stuffed with bloodied candy canes—Detective Rowan Black is pulled out of suspension and back into a town that’s all tinsel, secrets, and silence. The killer leaves behind a twisted calling card: a parchment scroll marked “Naughty #1.”

As the holiday lights glow brighter, the murders get darker. Victims appear night after night, staged like grotesque holiday displays. Each one connected to a long-buried scandal at the now-defunct Saint Luke’s Home for Children—where Rowan once tried, and failed, to expose the truth.

Now, someone is making sure justice is served. One name at a time.

But when Rowan’s daughter vanishes just days before Christmas, the case becomes terrifyingly personal—and the final name on the killer’s list may be the one she can’t live without.

A chilling winter thriller packed with secrets, suspense, and a killer who turns Christmas into a nightmare, Silent Fright will keep you breathless until the final page.
