With a missing reindeer, a murdered elf, and a mayor one Christmas Carol short of a breakdown, it looks like Christmas festivities in Dunbarton are in danger of being cancelled – especially since Santa is in jail, charged with murder!
It’s coming up to Christmas and everyone in Dunbarton is filled with excitement at the arrival of a reindeer, a gift from their twin town in Norway. But when Dasher disappears, children and parents alike are devastated, and the mayor fears an international incident.
In desperation, the mayor turns to the Mallorys to save the town’s Christmas, but the more Chris and Alicia investigate, the more they realize it isn’t just Christmas that’s in jeopardy.
