**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

When seventeen‑year‑old Ariel is found dead inside a meatworks machine, nothing about it is accidental. Murder and the Freddie Mercury Christmas Pageant In the snow-filled town of Oakwood Hills, Christmas typically involves fairy lights, community gatherings, and the annual Freddie Mercury Pageant rather than murder, corruption, and a detective struggling to stay upright. Detective Ludmilla Anders is thrust into the middle as a broken-down detective in a town that won’t stay quiet. Against the backdrop of glitter‑soaked trans people preparing for their annual Freddie Mercury Christmas pageant, the Oakwood police force uncovers a buried chain of secrets in the town.
