"Its the most wonderful time of the year," the old song tells us. But that doesnt mean the people celebrating it are always so nice. Criminals get the Christmas spirit, too!In this collection of hilarious short stories, youll see what the thieves, killers, psychos and scumbags are up to come the holidays...and its not caroling door to door. Well, not unless theyre casing the neighborhood for a breakin, as a ragtag gang does in the title story. Youll also meet a mall elf menaced by a very, very bad Santa (in "I Killed Santa Claus"), a London police inspector hunting for the man who murdered Ebenezer Scrooge (in "Humbug"), a trucker out to save his shipment of Cabbage Patch Dolls from bumbling hijackers (in "Special Delivery") and many more characters youll never forget.Originally published in Ellery Queens Mystery Magazine and Alfred Hitchcocks Mystery Magazine, these nine tales from awardwinning short story master Steve Hockensmith (Holmes on the Range, Dreadfully Ever After) are sure to have you hohohoing from the first page to the last.
