A Damsel for Santa
by Terry Ambrose
McKenna is roped into the role of Santa in a Christmas play by his friend Chance Logan. A freak storm blasts Honolulu, causing a city-wide power outage. When the lights come on, one of the elves is dead.
Is the killer the Shakespeare-quoting Scrooge? The secretive Jack Frost? Or the way-too-friendly elf with multiple personalities? Worse yet, something is giving McKenna itches in places he can't even mention. McKenna has a short Christmas wish list this year. All he wants is to find a killer before the curtain comes down—and maybe a sturdy backscratcher.
