The Little Engine That Killed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798864499641)

The week before Christmas 1951, Juliet and Elmer are hired by a retired factory owner to find the missing money his son-in-law stole sixteen years ago. The culprit is being released from prison. His wife is expecting him. So is her younger sister. So is the former co-worker who arrives to meet him at the train station with a gun.

Did the thief have an accomplice? How many, Juliet and Elmer included, are going to follow him in hopes of retrieving the stolen money from its hiding place?

It's a holiday rush to get things done, and to wrap up old resentments, rivalries, and crimes, with a neat bow before the deadline of Christmas Eve when debts, and blackmail, comes due.

If you like the romance and charm of a classic film, this will remind you of an era of character-driven stories-and pop culture of times past comes alive again.

But trouble sometimes comes in small packages.
