I don't normally pass these things on but Tony is trying to do a good thing for needy kids. I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing the first volume last year and am pleased that he is doing this once again. I have not read this book. However, I know most of the names on the list and am very well aware of their work and they produce quality stories. Some are making repeat appearances. So, I fully expect this book to be another good one.

Praise for Carols and Crimes, Gifts and Grifters
“A deliciously wicked book unlike any other you’re likely to see on the Christmas aisles this year... You’ll find yourself surrounded this Christmas by thieves, thugs, murderers, and adulterers - and loving every minute of it! This is definitely the book to give to those friends and family who love to be frightened by that unexpected "bump in the night!” -- pm terrell, author of RICOCHET, THE CHINA CONSPIRACY and KICKBACK
“A fantastic lineup of stories—from short to long, from lighthearted to gritty, these holiday tales will keep you awake until long after Santa shows up. If your Christmas list includes a mystery reader, this book makes a great gift!” -- John M. Floyd, award-winning author of RAINBOW’S END
“A wide range of holiday treats to enjoy year-round. From Chris Grabenstein's decoration-obsessed Dad, reminiscent of the best of Jean Shepherd, to Margaret Fenton's anti-Christmas thief, this is a delightful collection for all types of mystery fans.” -- Mary Saums, author of THISTLE AND TWIGG
The retail price of Carols and Crimes, Gifts and Grifters is $11.95, and it will be available from the publisher or through your local bookstore. Distributed through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, or you may order directly from the publisher. ISBN 978-1-60364-002-2.
