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.
