Mystery for Christmas

Twelve Christmas mysteries -- gift wrapped in entertainment and suspense -- ready to take home for the holidays in this delightful collection selected from *Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine* and *Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine*. **Margery Allingham**'s Albert Campion, British detective extraordinaire, solves a country killing in which delivering a Christmas card was simply murder. **Rex Stout** sends a crotchety patrolman out to investigate a yuletide jewel theft on Manhattan's mean streets. **John D. MacDonald** leaves us a secretary's corpse on Christmas Street along with a cop's clever ruse to catch her killer. And Santa Claus himself hitches up a sleighload of chills in stories by **George Baxt**, **Malcolm McClintock**, **James Powell**, and many more... for it's ho, ho, homicide in the season to guess whodunit.
