Description
"A CHRISTMAS CON WITH AN ELVIS-LOVING STING OPERATION CREATES PLENTY OF LAUGHS, ROMANCE, AND SUSPENSE"
Wall Street Journal bestselling author Larissa Reinhart brings her Cherry Tucker fans a novella prequel to the award-winning, best-selling, Cherry Tucker Mystery, PORTRAIT OF A DEAD GUY.

For the sassy, Southern artist Cherry Tucker, a stay at the Heartache Motel will require quick wits and a sharp lookout for crooked characters wanting to give her a very “Blue Christmas.”

“For a fun, Elvis-loving mystery treat, no place is better than the Heartache Motel. Follow the clues to Christmas filled with cozy mystery at its best.” --  Nancy J Parra, Author of the Baker's Treat Mysteries and the Perfect Proposal Mysteries

Sassy Southern artist Cherry Tucker and her poker-loving boyfriend, Todd, pop into Memphis to help Todd's cousin who's been hustled out of his savings, right before Christmas. Staying at the shady Heartache Motel, Cherry can't tell a shill from a mark and fears everyone is playing them for chumps. Cherry and Todd quickly find themselves in a dangerous sting that could send them to the slammer or mark them as pigeons from cons looking for an even bigger score.

For a fun-filled romp through a gritty gambler's view of Memphis, grab Cherry's Christmas caper today!
