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 AtkinsonGeorge Baxt • Lawrence BlockMary Higgins Clark • Thomas H. CookRon Goulart • Jeremiah HealyEdward D. Hoch • Rupert HolmesAndrew Klavan • Michael MaloneEd McBain • Anne Perry • S. J. RozanJonathan Santlofer • Donald E. WestlakeSome 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.
