A story from the collection Do Not Exceed the Stated Dose. It’s Christmas week and there’s been a grisly discovery in Santa’s Grotto: the head of the toy department has been murdered, a crossbow arrow through his chest. But when the store manager arrives, the body has vanished. It’s up to shop assistant Pauline, Santa, and his elf to get to the bottom of the mystery.
