Superman, Nate’s bow-legged, beady-eyed mutt, has done it again; his bulldog rump has followed his bloodhound nose to the scene of another crime. What kind of person would decorate a Christmas Tree with a corpse?

In this second book in the Four Seasons series, Detective Lewis, Nate, Charlie, Chipper, and Nate’s spunky mom have a laundry list of suspects, including a tobacco-spitting Goliath, a jilted lover, and an abusive entrepreneur. Each has a motive and the means, but which one had the opportunity? And who would kill a guy that everyone liked? That is, almost everyone. Also, does his mother get a date with Detective Lewis, is his teenage sister in love again, and can Nate solve this murder without confirming his unfortunate reputation?

When Nate realizes the meaning of the clue the victim left behind and confronts his suspect, Nate is the one left bleeding.
