Peri Garritsen thought it was a simple assignment: get a small-town librarian to answer a few questions. Easy is what everyone tells her she needs right now, even though she knows she’s fine. It’ll be a quick trip and get back to doing something actually important. Librarian Lisette Osborne is not the least bit unnerved by the arrival of yet another secret agent wannabe in her office. No warrant, no answers—the law is on her side. But that doesn’t seem to matter to Ms. “I Hate Small Towns and the Holidays” Homeland Security. A librarian with a history. A Fed not sure of her future. A snowstorm. Jingling bells. And one very old coin.
