Finding Santa

Santa Claus is missing...Christmas is cancelled...or is it?

Award-winning political fiction author Mikael Carlson spins the final novel of this uplifting holiday trilogy. With romance, adventure, and political maneuvering, it is part Hallmark Christmas movie, part House of Cards.

Finding Santa is a heartwarming story about love, family, friends, and celebrating the spirit of Christmas. Santa Claus has gone missing from his Finnish village on the Arctic Circle. As the world begins to learn the nature of his disappearance, it is up to Stowe and Wyatt to find St. Nick before Christmas Eve. Following clues, meeting old friends and making new ones, will the mystery be solved in time to save the holiday, or did it never need saving in the first place?

Christmas is around the corner, and following Santa Claus’s adventures last year, there’s plenty of merriment to go around...until breaking news chyrons shatter the joy. Santa Claus may be a myth, but the Finnish Santa who testified before Congress and delivered a Christmas miracle in St. Louis has gone missing under mysterious circumstances.

After a year of being called ＂Grinch＂ because of last year’s reporting, senior White House correspondent Keith Meadows is itching for payback. Upon hearing the rumors coming out of Santa’s Village in Rovaniemi, he flies there to get answers about the disappearance. What he finds is an opportunity to shatter the image of Santa Claus once and for all.

Now living in Vermont, Stowe Bessette and Wyatt Huffman are getting accustomed to new careers - and the prospect of taking their relationship to the next level. When Santa’s chief elf shows up on their doorstep, they plunge into one more Santa adventure...this time, following clues that they hope will lead to his whereabouts in time to save Christmas.

As the desperate hunt for Santa commences, jolly old St. Nick has his own way of settling the crisis. After understanding why he was taken, he sets in motion a bold plan to heal hearts, mend relationships, and conjure up a little more Christmas magic before the holiday. Can he pull it off, or does his abductor have something more sinister in mind? Will Stowe and Wyatt, along with some friends they meet along the way, find Santa before Christmas Eve to avoid an international crisis, or will a missing Santa Claus forever dampen the spirit of a beloved holiday?
