Just a sleepy former mining town turned tourist haven in the mountains of Northern Arizona until the "incident"-the meteorite that gave everyone in the town powers, but only while in or near Carterville. With a dead woman dressed as an elf found on Christmas morning in snow-globe-perfect Carterville, it falls to police chief Henry Carter to solve the murder. But Henry knows the victim, and his suspect list soon fills up with the people closest to him. With no allies and powers involved, Henry risks his life to solve the crime and to find some kind of justice for his friend.
