    Twenty years ago, several people were murdered in Des Moines, and the only evidence left behind was a snowman ornament hanging ominously on a tree in the victims' front lawns.

But now crimes with a similar MO are happening in a small Iowa town, and a local detective believes the killer is back and ready to strike again. 
 
With little time left on the clock before they have another murder on their hands, private investigators River Ryland and Tony St. Clair must work alongside Tony's detective father to find evidence that will uncover an evil that has survived far too long.

    Axiology, the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of values, plays a crucial role in understanding human beliefs, decisions, and behaviors. This chapter introduces the concept of axiology, emphasizing its importance in ethics and how it influences not just personal conduct but also societal norms and expectations. At its core, axiology is concerned with two primary components: value theory and the study of ethics. These two areas work in tandem, guiding individuals in understanding what is good, right, or desirable, and shaping their actions accordingly. 
The term "axiology" comes from the Greek words "axios," meaning value, and "logos," meaning study or discourse. Axiology thus represents the study of values in the most comprehensive sense, ranging from personal preferences to the collective ethical standards that govern entire societies. The study of values is fundamental to various fields such as ethics, psychology, politics, and education, providing a framework for determining what is valuable in different contexts. Values themselves can take many forms, including moral values, aesthetic values, social values, and economic values, each influencing behavior in unique ways. 
Understanding values is essential because they serve as the foundation upon which we build our beliefs, attitudes, and actions. From an individual perspective, values guide the decisions we make daily—whether in choosing a career, deciding what is right or wrong, or determining what we prioritize in life.
