Soon Claire is on the case when a wealthy benefactor of Farberville's neo-pagans is found dead.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>THE GIFT THAT GIVES ON GIVING. . . </b><br>With Farberville's college on holiday break, Claire Malloy's bookstore is quiet . . . deadly quiet. Breaking the silence is a little old lady looking for volumes on pagan rituals, applied magick, and Celtic mysticism.

Now Claire is mixing some snooping with her Christmas shopping. But instead of wrapping up the case, she finds out 'tis the season for ho- ho- homicide . . . and she may be the next victim.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><P>THE GIFT THAT GIVES ON GIVING. . . <BR>With Farberville's college on holiday break, Claire Malloy's bookstore is quiet . . . deadly quiet.
