“A deliciously wicked book unlike any other you’re likely to see on the Christmas aisles this year… You’ll find yourself surrounded this Christmas by thieves, thugs, murderers, and adulterers - and loving every minute of it! This is definitely the book to give to those friends and family who love to be frightened by that unexpected "bump in the night!” — pm terrell, author of RICOCHET, THE CHINA CONSPIRACY and KICKBACK

“A fantastic lineup of stories—from short to long, from lighthearted to gritty, these holiday tales will keep you awake until long after Santa shows up. If your Christmas list includes a mystery reader, this book makes a great gift!” — John M. Floyd, award-winning author of RAINBOW’S END

“A wide range of holiday treats to enjoy year-round. From Chris Grabenstein's decoration-obsessed Dad, reminiscent of the best of Jean Shepherd, to Margaret Fenton's anti-Christmas thief, this is a delightful collection for all types of mystery fans.” — Mary Saums, author of THISTLE AND TWIGG
