Happy Christmas, Laido

Description

Tis the season, but not all is merry and bright. In the Big Bend of West Texas, 1887, Sheriff Minerva Archer is not in the holiday spirit. She was recently widowed, she has several mysteries to unravel, and a man who may be innocent is headed for the noose. Christmas trees are just catching on back East, but this is still the land of posadas and nacimientos. Will St. Nicholas prevail, bringing cheer? Hint: never underestimate St. Nicholas.
