The discovery of a dead body is nothing new for Detective Simon Grave, but when the body and the murderer are both invisible, well, that's another matter entirely, even in the futuristic town of Crab Cove. The question is whether he and his human and android team are up for the challenge, which also remains to be seen. Making his job even more difficult is the sudden retirement of Captain Henry Morgan, who taps Grave as acting chief.

Detective Kate Morgan wishes all holidays were filled with celebration and joy, but her latest crime scene tells a different story. The leftover festive spirits of Christmas and the new year are overshadowed by the grim reality of another murder. No amount of ribbon wrapped around the body or notations on a greeting card to Believe can change that. As she delves into the first murder of this year, Kate unexpectedly uncovers a second case—another victim and another instance of holiday cheer turned sour.

Detective Kate Morgan is tasked with determining if a recently discovered body floating in the harbor is the result of a crime and, if not, to move on to one of the team’s many other pending cases on their desks. However, nothing is ever simple in her world. So, when she finds several similar cases in the surrounding police districts, … the scope of her hunt expands proportionally. However, getting to the bottom of this one crosses into Simon’s penchant for revitalizing old buildings in downtown Vancouver—or, in some cases, just giving those structures a whole lot of love.
