A Klavan Christmas

by Andrew Klavan

Andrew’s Christmas story The Killer Christian will have yet another incarnation in this December’s anthology Christmas at the Mysterious Bookshop from Vanguard Press. The volume also features Christmas stories by Mary Higgins Clark, Donald Westlake, Lawrence Block and others. Andrew’s tale of a mob hit-man redeemed by a Christmas hoax had its first publication as a limited edition pamphlet given away by the bookshop as a holiday gift. It was then reprinted last year by Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine. EQMM, by the way, will be running another of Andrew’s Christmas offerings – The Advent Reunion – this year.
