The Nutcracker Killer Case
December in Hollow Creek should be magical. Christmas lights line Main Street, the annual Winter Festival is days away, and snow blankets the quiet upstate New York town.
But something sinister is happening.
Three bodies. Three vintage nutcracker figurines. And a pattern that reaches back over two decades to a tragedy the town tried to forget.
Dark secrets come to the surface. Someone remembers. Someone has been waiting. And someone is checking names off a list.
As a consulting detective brought in by the Hollow Creek Police Department, you’ll:
- Examine authentic crime scene reports, witness statements, and evidence logs
- Uncover a decades-old conspiracy
- Track the killer through phone records, town archives, and personal testimonies
