Liz McCall grew up in a playful winter wonderland but it was never her dream to manage her father''s vintage toyshop. However, after he sank his entire police pension into the business, someone needed to help him turn his dreams into reality—and keep him from sneaking off to patrol the not-so-mean streets of East Aurora, NY.
The mood goes from nice to naughty when a nervous man, who was trying to have his antique toys appraised, is found in the shop with a lawn dart through his chest. Suddenly, Liz''s business plan is plunged into deep freeze, while she and her father find themselves toying with a cold-blooded killer who''s playing for keeps.
Now, it looks like Christmas might be cancelled for the neighborhood kids if Liz can''t wrap up the case in Barbara Early''s delightful debut Death of a Toy Soldier.
