'The red robe concealed the blood until it made my hand sticky.
Father Christmas had been stabbed in the back, and he was certainly
dead.' The murder of Father Christmas at one of London’s great
toy shops is just one of many yuletide disasters in this new
collection of stories from the Golden Age of crime writing and
beyond. Masters of the genre such as Patricia Moyes and John
Dickson Carr present perfectly packaged short pieces, and Martin
Edwards delivers a sackful of rarities from authors such as Ellis
Peters, Gwyn Evans and Michael Innes. The answer to any classic
crime fiction fan’s Christmas wish – and the only way for you
to answer Who Killed Father Christmas? – this new anthology is
set to muddle, befuddle, surprise and delight.
