A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

DECK THE HALLS
When Regan Reilly's businessman father disappears just before Christmas, Regan turns for help to her parents' Central Park South neighbours Willy and Alvirah - with whom she shares not only a talent for detection, but also an unusually accommodating genius of a dentist who brings them together.
As New York City prepares for Christmas, the three of them join forces to find Regan's father. Together they discover that he is not just missing, but kidnapped - along with the driver of the taxi in which he was riding - and is being held hostage for ransom by his partner's angered and disinherited son . . .
HE SEES YOU WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING
Sterling Brooks did not lead an exemplary life. Too absorbed to think about anyone else, he was unable to commit wholly to the woman he loved. But his actual misdeeds were few, and when he dies a few days before Christmas the Heavenly Council decides to give him one last chance. Sterling will be sent back to earth, and given the opportunity to prove his worthiness by helping someone else.
Sterling finds himself at the skating rink in Rockefeller Center, Manhattan, where among the skaters is 7-year-old Marissa. Marissa is heartbroken: due to threats from infamous mobsters, her adored father and grandmother have been put into the Witness Protection Program. It is in this little girl that Sterling sees his challenge . . .
THE CHRISTMAS THIEF
Alvirah Meehan, the lottery winner turned amateur sleuth, teams up with private investigator Regan Reilly to solve another Christmas mystery.
This time they find themselves in the middle of a case involving a beautiful eighty-foot blue spruce that has been chosen to spend the holidays as Rockefeller Center's famous Christmas tree. The folks who picked the tree don't have a clue that attached to one of its branches is a flask chock-full of priceless diamonds that Packy Noonan, a scam artist just released from prison, had hidden there over twelve years ago . . .
