Synopsis

The explosion at the First National Bank was a grotesque parody of the holiday spirit: a man disguised as Santa Claus, detonating explosives in a failed attempt at robbery. Brennan and Booth are tasked with unraveling the identity of the bomber and the reasoning behind his desperate act. Elsewhere, Brennan had envisioned a quiet Christmas in El Salvador, but her father persuaded her to spend the season with him and Margaret Whitesell, a relative recently brought into the family fold.
