Christmas at The Mysterious Bookshop

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.
