    About this ebook

    According to Officer Nick Mantino, Nutball Season runs from Halloween to Christmas. This Christmas season, he has more than his usual number of nutballs. First, there’s the geezer who thinks he’s been cast in Miracle on 34th Street. Then there’s Mrs. Billings, who has told everyone she’ll shoot Santa if he lands on her roof. Mrs. Billings has scared the local children, and Nick Mantino must investigate. What he finds in Prudence Billings’ house scares him too—and makes him wonder if he hasn’t just joined the lists of candidates for Nutball of the Year.

    Rusch is a great storyteller.
    —Romantic Times

    International bestselling writer Kristine Kathryn Rusch has won two Hugo awards, a World Fantasy Award, and several Asimov’s Readers Choice Awards. Her latest novel is Blowback: A Retrieval Artist Novel from WMG Publishing.
