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.
