Just when you thought it was safe to gather 'round the eggnog comes this frightfully festive collection of Christmas whodunits by 15 masters of mystery selected from the pages of *Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazin*e and *Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine*. In "Rumpole and the Spirit of Christmas," John Mortimer's irascible barrister reaches a new verdict on Christmas spirits and the nature of evil. Death comes gift-wrapped in a mysterious alibi for Margery Allingham's Campion, detective extraordinaire, in "Murder Under the Mistletoe." And Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is on the trail of a burglar most fowl when he investigates the disappearance of a priceless Christmas goose in "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle." And twelve other tales of holiday mystery that guarantee you'll have yourself a scary little Christmas.
