What is Mystery for Christmas : twelve tales of seasonal suspense about?

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. <p>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. A daffy mother does him in. 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.</p> <p>These stories---taken from the pages of <i>Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine</i> and <i>Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine</i>---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 <i>Mystery for Christmas</i>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.</p>
