J.B. Smith is a true crime and professional law-enforcement expert
who talks like Texas but performs like CSI and Law & Order. His
book reads like a novel but is actually a tragic true story told from an
insider’s perspective—one that the public rarely has the opportunity
to witness.
—Ray Mislock
Former FBI Agent, CIA Officer, and Texas Native Son The Christmas Day Murders is an in-depth look at a modern-day
crime scene investigation. J.B. is a humdinger of a storyteller, and
his book is a lot like him: irreverent and rough in places.
—B. G. Hartley
Chairman of the Board and CEO,
Southside Bank
Masterful, gritty, and absorbing. J.B. Smith’s retelling of the 1999
murders on Christmas morning is a Texas-style page-turner.
— Ralph M. Hall
Texas Congressman
