A Hard Rokk Mysteries Christmas Special
In the days leading up to Christmas, Miami detective Gina Bauer and rock star Michael Rokk realize they’re chasing a killer who doesn’t improvise.
Each death follows a strict sequence.
Each victim is chosen for a reason.
And each murder echoes a familiar Christmas refrain—one note at a time.
Hard Rokk Christmas Carol Killer is a dark holiday novelette that blends crime thriller, psychological suspense, and rock-and-roll atmosphere. It stands alone, but lives fully inside the world of Hard Rokk Mysteries—where music isn’t just part of the story, it’s real.
An original Christmas song written inside the book can be heard after the final page, connecting the fiction to the world beyond it.
This is not a feel-good Christmas story.
It’s a reckoning.
Rockin’ the Rooftops is a high-energy Christmas rock anthem featured in the novelette Hard Rokk Christmas Carol Killer. Written for a live Christmas Eve performance and sparked by a child’s imagination, the song celebrates noise, light, and joy rising above the rooftops—where guitars and bells collide, music cuts through the night, and Santa himself touches down from house to house, turning every landing into part of the celebration. It’s a moment where tradition and volume meet, the darkness is drowned out, and the night belongs to those who refuse to be quiet.
