Mary Higgins Clarková a její dcera Carol Higgins Clarková spojily síly, aby přinesly napínavé a zábavné sváteční příběhy. V první povídce lidé z městečka Stowe ve Vermontu vybrali nádherný smrk jako vánoční strom pro Rockefellerovo centrum, netušíc, že pod ním jsou ukryté diamanty podvodníka Packyho Noonana, právě propuštěného z vězení. Když se Packy dozví o plánovaném transportu stromu do New Yorku, ví, že musí rychle jednat, ale netuší, že mu v cestě stojí bystrá soukromá očko Regan Reillyová. Druhá povídka se odehrává na Vánoční plavbě, kterou uspořádal komodor Randolph Weed pro vybranou skupinu hostů. Jeho synovec Eric však na palubu propašoval dva uprchlé zločince. Když se na palubě sejde Regan Reillyová a ostatní, doufají v klidný výlet, ale situace se brzy změní a Reillyová musí odhalit nebezpečné zločince, kteří nebyli na seznamu hostů. Ve třetí povídce, před Festivalem radosti v Branscombe v New Hampshire, se zaměstnanci místní tržnice dozvědí, že vyhráli 180 milionů dolarů v loterii. Jeden z nich, Duncan, se však rozhodne nevsadit na radu podvodných poradců a vzápětí zmizí. Regan Reillyová, přilákána festivalem, se snaží odhalit, co skrývá.
Regan Reilly, a private investigator, and her husband Jack become embroiled in a complex case that spans from Cape May to Atlantic City and Asbury Park. As they navigate the investigation, Regan encounters old friends from her hometown, but one friend stands out as almost unrecognizable, hinting at deeper secrets. The story blends mystery with personal connections, showcasing the vibrant settings of New Jersey's coastal towns while unraveling the intricacies of friendship and change.
