Winter breaks are supposed to be exciting, but this one is murder.In December 1918, the Great War is over, the influenza pandemic that killed millions is abating, and everyone in the small town of Cora, Georgia is ready for some festive fun. Stepping off the train from school, sixteen-year-old Emmie McAllister looks forward to a pleasant Christmas, one in which she can fix up a motorcycle and enjoy the look on her mother's face.Yet the holidays turn darker as the town's most prominent suffrage activist turns up murdered. In the aftermath, Emmie finds herself saddled with her least favorite classmate, prim and proper Dessa, as both girls are determined to help find the perpetrator of the murder they are sure they actually heard happening.As they investigate, though, hostilities toward suffragists rise; outspoken women find their homes vandalized. Given that speaking out is enough to get threats, investigating a crime is far riskier. If Emmie and Dessa don't learn to work together and find the killer quickly, they themselves could be the next victims.
