THE GIFT THAT GIVES ON GIVING. . .
With Farberville’s college on holiday break,
Claire Malloy’s bookstore is quiet . . . deadly quiet.
Breaking the silence is a little old lady looking for
volumes on pagan rituals, applied magick, and Celtic
mysticism. Claire is intrigued and—miffed that her lover,
Farberville police Lieutenant Peter Rosen, says she’s in a
rut—happily accepts an invitation to welcome the winter
solstice at dawn.
HOMICIDE FOR THE
HOLIDAYS Showing up at the Sacred Grove, Claire
expects wild chanting or even nude dancing. Instead she
ends up sitting on a stump watching the Arch Druid clean
her bifocals. Then winter arrives and so does a dead man.
Someone has shot the wealthy benefactor of Farberville’s
neo-pagans. Now Claire is mixing some snooping with her
Christmas shopping. But instead of wrapping up the case,
she finds out ‘tis the season for ho- ho- homicide . . .
and she may be the next victim.
