Christmas on a psychiatric ward can be downright depressing, but the nurses of St. Anne's Hospital are determined to deck the blues by decking the halls. There's only one problem: someone's planted a bomb in their brand new Christmas tree. The ensuing devastation leaves seven corpse buried in the rubble of the ward, wiry pine branches protruding from their bodies like the shafts of green fir arrows. Caroline Rhodes, RN, thought she'd left all her problems in Chicago when she moved to the quiet little town of Rhineburg, IL. But after witnessing the bombing at St. Anne's, the middle aged nurse finds she can't escape her past. Not only is she a suspect in the eyes of the FBI, but now, for some unknown reason, she's also on the killer's hit list. Aided by Carl Atwater, an elderly professor of history at Rhineburg's Bruck University, Caroline goes on the offensive to prove her innocence. She employs the skills she's acquired over her nursing career, observing and assessing both the living and the dead until, on the night of the town's annual Winter Festival, she uncovers the identity of the Mad Bomber of Rhineburg'.
