A man still in hiding. A Christmas heist. This is no time for fruitcake.
Ed Belmont works in a struggling Midwest mall. It isn't the ideal place for a job, but he's doing the best he can. Every day is an uphill battle since Ed dislikes children, holiday decorations, and Christmas music. But what's a guy to do when he's Santa Claus?
There's a criminal lurking around town, and he's dressed as jolly old Saint Nick. Unfortunately, the cops don't have any leads until they stumble upon Ed. Now, the law is poking into his background, and it's creating problems.
For Ed Belmont is a man with a secret that the U.S. Government has invested a lot to keep concealed. This is important since Ed's enemies have chased him across the country in hopes of exacting their revenge.
Can Ed survive the week and leave the Santa suit behind? Or will the cops make sure he celebrates the holiday in jail?

Those familiar with the series will immediately recognize that Ed is the latest identity of our protagonist, who is in witness protection. I knew seeing him playing Santa would be fun, and I was right. Unfortunately, a sub-plot intended to also be funny made me more uncomfortable. I do like Ed and enjoy watching him deal with his newest struggles. The rest of the characters are a bit thin. The plot does wander a bit at times, but it comes together for an interesting climax. I do enjoy watching Ed solve things. And this is a fast read. Fans will enjoy seeing what Ed gets up to in this holiday entry in the series.
