Amazon Description:
The
perfect holiday gift for the crime fiction lover in your life!
Curated by New York Times bestselling author Tod Goldberg, this collection of eleven delightful and
twisted Hanukkah capers will entertain you through all eight nights of the
Festival of Lights.
In Stefanie Leder’s “Not a Dinner Party Person,” an unstable pharmaceutical rep
tries not to kill anyone at her family dinner on the last night of Hanukkah; in
Ivy Pochoda’s “Johnny Christmas,” a taciturn Gulf War vet commissions a tattoo
from a man he knew from his prison days, a man not named Christmas but
Goldfarb; in David L. Ulin’s “Shamash,” it’s the last night of Hanukkah, and a
live-at-home adult son considers doing something drastic to get out of his
elderly father’s Upper West Side apartment; in James D.F. Hannah’s “Twenty
Centuries,” a pair of detectives solve a curiously unprompted murder during the
holiday season.
This captivating collection contains old-school slapstick comedy, hardboiled
noir, gritty procedurals, and poignant reminders of the meaning of Hanukkah,
offering something for almost every reader willing to take the journey through
these twisted tales.
With stories by: Ivy Pochoda, David L. Ulin, James D.F. Hannah, Lee Goldberg,
Nikki Dolson, J.R. Angelella, Liska Jacobs, Gabino Iglesias, Stefanie Leder,
and Jim Ruland, plus a foreword and story by Tod Goldberg.
