All Kris Collins wants for Christmas is to survive. With everyone from a ruthless assassin to the FBI, and even his ex-father-in-law after him, it almost makes him long to return to the safety of prison, where he'd spent the last three years. Those closing in on him believe he's hiding a treasure stolen by his client Diedrich Kerstman - the poster-child for corporate greed, who stole the money from his own employees. And they're right. But with Kerstman dead, Kris knows handing over the money will trigger his own demise. It all comes to a head in a Christmas Eve showdown, with it still unclear whether Kris will end up on the "naughty" or "nice" list. But he does know that his only chance to make it to Christmas morning is to write a new chapter to a classic tale. A holiday themed thriller for any season.
