The Spy Who Came for Christmas
David Morrell
Vanguard Press
October 31, 2008
Hardcover (gift-sized)
248 pages
The tale unfolds within the contemporary story of an American espionage agent who outs himself to his vicious Russian bosses by running off on Christmas Eve with a package they’ve been hired to steal—the baby son of a modern-day peacemaker. The agent’s initially unwilling helpers are a woman (who has been terrorized by an abusive husband) and her young son, Paul. The breakneck pace allows little time for characterization, and the blood-and-guts level is high as Russian agents close in (even young Paul gets into the act), but along the way there’s plenty of play with names and situations drawn from Bible stories.
Amazon has it in paperback and for the Kindle.

A-Z Wednesday: Strange Pilgrims by Gabriel García Márquez
Sounds cool!
I'm really into Christmas books for the first time, and I love the look of this one!
Thanks for playing!
Fast-paced can be a refreshing change.
I haven't read any David Morrell in a long time.
This one is on my TBR stack. Not sure I will get to it this month.
Sounds like a great mystery for Christmas =)
Ooh, this looks good!
If you want to have a look, here's my S book.

This sounds like a really good read. Very different for a Christmas book.
