Santa Claus Protection Program

by Ali House

When one of Santa's elves is murdered less than two weeks before Christmas, Detective Anya Gunderson is sent to the North Pole to solve the case. But everything becomes much more complicated when she realizes that the intended target was actually Santa!

With a killer still on the loose, her only option is to put Santa and Mrs. Claus in witness protection, far away from the North Pole. The only problem is how will she find a killer in the happiest place on Earth at a time when tourism is at its peak?

With the help of cheerful elf, Max, Anya rushes to solve this case in time for Santa to get back to the North Pole. Will Christmas be cancelled this year or will the killer be found in time?
