A Christmas pine growing over a forgotten homicide. A Yuletide heist gone horribly wrong. When there's as much murder as magic in the air and the facts seem to point to the impossible, it's up to the detective's trained eye to unwrap the clues and neatly tie together an explanation (preferably with a bow on top). Martin Edwards has once again gathered the best of these seasonal stories into a stellar anthology brimming with rare tales, fresh as fallen snow, and classics from the likes of Julian Symons, Margery Allingham, Anthony Gilbert and Cyril Hare. A most welcome surprise indeed, and perfect to be shared between super-sleuths by the fire on a cold winter's night"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories, English. 650 0 $a Christmas stories, English. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Christmas fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Edwards, Martin, $d 1955- $e editor. 830 0 $a British Library crime classics. 941 $a 3 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221011011204.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20211102011037.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211008010107.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=01FF48E427FD11EC8FB157B94DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
