Mystery For Christmas

Behold! Stealthy sleuths and shocking Yuletide crimes with just enough clues to keep you guessing. This collection of twelve ho-ho whodunits makes for perfect holiday reading. The cast of characters, including Santa Claus, Bob Cratchit, and the ghost of Jacob Marley, appear here in horrifying new guises. More than one tale finds Santa heading back to the North Pole in a body bag. He's the target of a Christmas Eve plot. He's done in by a daffy mother. He's picked off in a department store. You'll also meet a jaded undercover cop transformed by the season and a modern-day Robin Hood straight from the back alley. One story answers the question: "Whatever became of Ebenezer Scrooge?" The answer will surprise you. These stories - taken from the pages of *Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine* and *Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine* - range from the glib to the grim and will remind you of the wicked and wonderful things people do in the name of Christmas. Each story in *Mystery for Christmas* is as distinctive as a great gift. This is Christmas as you've never before seen it - chock full of crimes you'll never forget.
