Merry Christmas, Detectives

A short story from the Unofficial Case Files

{ { o } }

About a week before Klocke and Haiden go to meet the survivors of Trouble School, Klocke finds himself faced with something more frightening than all the ghosts and all the killers he's ever faced, and ever will face.

A date with his new girlfriend, the psychologist, Anabell Newland. But before he gets much opportunity to stress about it, his partner, Jennifer Haiden, shows up on his doorstep with a Christmas gift. Only he didn't get anything for anyone. Not even Ana.

And, of course, last-minute Christmas shopping wouldn't be any fun without an explosion and a lunatic with a knife hell-bent on bloodshed.
