Synopses & Reviews
Each year, for the past seventeen years, Mysterious Bookshop proprietor Otto Penzler has commissioned an original Christmas story by a leading suspense writer. These stories were then produced as pamphlets, just 1,000 copies, and given to customers of the bookstore as a Christmas present. Now, all seventeen tales have been collected in one volume, showcasing the talents of:
Charles Ardai Lisa Atkinson
George Baxt Lawrence Block
Mary Higgins Clark Thomas H. Cook
Ron Goulart Jeremiah Healy
Edward D. Hoch Rupert Holmes
Andrew Klavan Michael Malone
Ed McBain Anne Perry S. J. Rozan
Jonathan Santlofer Donald E. Westlake
Some of these stories are humorous, others suspenseful, and still others are tales of pure detection, but all of them together make up a charming collection and a perfect Christmas gift for all ages.
