<b>The Queens are intrigued when a grisly murder mars a small town&rsquo;s Christmas</b><DIV></div><p></p><DIV>It&rsquo;s Christmas in Chicago, and Inspector Richard Queen is enjoying a busman&rsquo;s holiday at a conference on gangland violence&mdash;but his son, amateur sleuth Ellery, is</div><DIV>bored silly. Until, that is, Ellery reads of an unusual killing in rural Arroyo, West Virginia: A schoolmaster has been found beheaded and crucified. Ellery hustles his father into his roadster and heads east, since there is nothing he&rsquo;d like better for Christmas than a juicy, gruesome puzzle.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>When the Queens arrive in Arroyo, they learn that the victim was an eccentric atheist, but not the sort to make enemies. What initially looks to be the work of a sadistic cult turns out to be something far more sinister. In the months ahead, more victims will turn up all over the world&mdash;all killed in the same horrifying manner. It will take several bodies before Queen divines the clue that unlocks the mystery of the Christmas crucifixion.</div><DIV></div><DIV></div>
