The Twelve Heists of Christmas, A C.o.P. on the Scene Short Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781947287532)

The shortest day of the year is anything but for C.o.P. Judith Anderson.

A series of smash-and-grab robberies is threatening to derail the Christmas shopping season in the small Florida city where Judith Anderson is the new Chief of Police. Shoppers are afraid, merchants are frustrated, the mayor is furious, and Judith and her department are looking like fools.

But they have little to go on. The thief is quick and is completely covered from head to toe, wearing a dark hoodie and plastic Santa mask.

The situation takes a nasty turn when a shop owner shoots at the fleeing robber and hits a young teenager instead. Judith is determined to stop the mayhem before someone else is seriously hurt, or worse. But will she be able to unmask the thieving Santa before Christmas...and is she prepared for what she may find if she does?
