Claus and Effect

Written by Abigail Drake

Narrated by Kasey Miracle

With Tink Holly on the case, the Christmas Crimes Division will never be the same.

Christmas elf Tinklebelle Holly loves her new job at the Elven Bureau of Investigation, but not everyone takes her seriously. In an effort to change that, and to impress her hot boss Jax Grayson, Tink sets up an undercover operation on her own. Unfortunately, things go South Pole very quickly, and Tink’s friend, exotic dancer Scarlet Knickers, ends up dead.

Tink's sure there's a link between Scarlet's death and a powerful new strain of candicocane that's killing off members of the elven community around the globe. The drug is getting stronger. The bodies are piling up. Tink and Jax are running out of time. And the answers seem to lie with a notorious gangster who has a soft spot for Tink.

In an effort to repair her reputation and find out who killed Scarlet, Tink follows a lead to a resort in the rain forests of Belize. The jungle is no place for a Christmas elf, but Tink will do everything possible to make things right. Can she solve Scarlet’s murder, make Jax trust her again, and stop this dangerous drug ring once and for all? Or will Tink and Jax be sidelined by a betrayal they never saw coming?
